Field Artillery, World War I
Edwin Chamberlain was the 3rd child of Ellen A (Carling) and Thomas Chamberlain who were living at Pipe Springs, Coconino County, Arizona at the time of his birth. It was believed at that time that it was a part of Utah and later found to be a part of Arizona. [It was a thriving Mormon settlement for a time, but due to drought and overgrazing, the settlement was eventually abandoned, some time prior to 1880. However, in the 1880's and 1890's, it became a refuge for Mormon wives hiding from federal marshalls enforcing anti-polygamy laws.*] The Chamberlain family then moved to Glendale, Kane County, Utah. They remained in Kane County, Utah throughout their lives. He had 3 brothers and 5 sisters. His sisters were: Edna May, b.June, 1883, Meriam, b.March, 1887, Annie A., b.Jan.1896, Genevieve, b.Nov.1898 and Verna Maurine, b.in 1903. His brothers were: Guy, b.July, 1892, Edward Leo, b.1894, and Lyle Moroni, b. 1901.
Edwin joined the Army and served during World War I in Company 348, Field Artillery. I have not been able to determine if he married or not, although I would have guessed that he would have married and had children. But, when the 1940 Census was taken on May 1st 1940, Edwin was single and living with his mother, Ellen, still farming the family's land in Glendale, Kane Co., Utah. His mother was widowed (since 1918) and the farm was valued at $800 as of that date.
