Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, August 25, 1904

Mr. W. R. Chandler, whose death was noted in your esteemed paper of 
last week, was well and favorable known to many in Wilcox County. He 
was born in Mim's Beat as we remember but spent large part of his life 
near what is now known as Darlington, in the prairies, just North of 
Rose Bud. He was a man of limited education, but a large experience 
and close observation made him a man of recognized parts. He began 
life, like so many in these late years, poor as to goods, but rich in 
energy and honesty. He was married to Miss Alice Stewart and by the 
marriage left surviving his widow and four sons. A few years ago he 
sold his real estate in Wilcox and purchased a home in Baldwin County, 
a few miles back from Daphne and was there building up a nice home and 
farm. He moved to get schooling for his children. He was ambitious for 
his boys. He wanted to see them equipped for the battles of life. He 
was a true friend - in this sphere of life many can say he was true; 
he was an affection husband and father and looked well after the wants 
and pleasures of those dependent upon him. He died of some brain 
trouble that baffled relief from the best of medical skill. He was 
buried in the Cemetery at Daphne. The sympathy of many in his old home 
is extended to his bereaved family. He has left a legacy to his boys 
in that they can always remember with filial pride the life of a noble 
father who was an honest, upright, highly esteemed citizen and friend.
                              HIS FRIEND
                              Camden, Ala., Aug. 20, 1904
