Biography"Mrs. Chamberlin united with the M.E. Church at an early age, of which she was a member until death. She was a woman of remarkable mind, could recall dates and circumstances of all the great events of the country during her lifetime without a moment's effort. She never forgot a name nor did she ever forget a date of any event that attracted her attention. Her long life was not uneventful, and her experiences were many of them sad and trying, but she never complained, never lost heart, no one ever knew her to be excited. Her equanimity under all circumstances was wonderful. She was possessed of love for all humanity, especially for the unfortunate and lowly. Her hand was ever extended to the needy, and no one ever called at her door for bread and went away hungry. She never grew old. She loved the companionship of the yound, especially that of children."3

BiographyJWH: "He came to Spencer in 1836 choosing the struggle with the wilderness in the West instead of a college course in the East. he subdued his forest farm with his own hands. In 1857 he purchased the farm 'Maple hill' on the Charlemont, a mile west of Wellington, and in the family until 1911. He was a school teacher of repute, his winters devoted to that profession for years after his marriage. 'His education, temperament, high ideals, strong convictions, dignified yet genial manner, and highly attractive personality, gave him exceptional power with young people over whom his influence was permanent. This magnetism and nobility of purpose and bearing, among all classes of people, attracted to him friends and admirers, to a degree seldom equalled. He had rare courage, physical as well as moral; he had keen and accurate judgment of men and matters and the unusual qualities of initiative. With a profound and patriotic interest in the welfare of his community, state and nation, with his solidity of character and an balance of mentality that commanded the respect of his peers--men of training and achievement--had he sought preferment, he might in a larger sense have been a leader of men, and achieved distinction in a wider field, but self-seeking was abhorrent to him. For sixty-seven years an active and liberal member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, his religious faith was constant, strong and helpful in the service of life, and the text chosen for his funeral discourse well epitomized his religous career: 'Know ye not there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?' His married life of sixty-eight years was remarkable, even more for its ideal sympathy and devotion and its perfect harmony, than for its long period. he recieved from his wife and children a love like that he gave, and the devotion and reverence which were his due. None knew so well as they the exalted beauty of his life and character; to them is the priceless heritage of his name and memory. Theirs has been a typical Christian home where God was honored and where mutual consideration and affection reigned, where liberality and hospitality were practiced and the virtuous and good found a congenial atmosphere. he took great interest in the genealogy of the Houghton family, giving it much time and labor and stimulating an interest among the relatives and friends."14

BiographyJWH: "The husband came to Ohio with his father in early manhood, and followed farming all his active life, beginning on a one hundred acre tract in Spencer, O., and after he had it well subdued and productive sold and moved in Nov. 1877, to Oberlin, and purchased a farm near the village but had his home in the town. He was intelligent, thoughtful, an extensive reader, very conservative and of unblemished character. A loyal and devoted member of the Methodist church nearly 70 years. He had a logical turn of mind, and the man who locked horns with him in argument needed to be very sure of his premises. An artist of experience and skill considered him an ideal subject to represent an aged man, and posed him in various sittings which were included in his exhibit in the St. Louis Exposition. Benevolence, strength, sweetness and dignity were in the noble repose and faultless outlines."4

A draft having been ordered in 1863 which called for every able-bodied man in his district, he enlisted for service in the army, in order that he might secure the bounty which was being paid for volunteers, as the men who were drafted received nothing. His life was fairly successful; was honest and a patriotic citizen."3
