SCOTT CHAMBERS, WALTON UNDERTAKER PASSES, A Public Spirited Citizen, and a Staunch Friend, Who Will Be Greatly Missed Throughout Northern Ky. The citizens of Walton and community were saddened Tuesday afternoon, when they learned of the passing of one of our most prominent citizens, at his home about 4 P. M. Mr. Chambers, 72 years of age, had been in failing health for several months, but attended church Sunday and was able to walk up in town every day, even Monday. Tuesday morning he dressed, ate breakfast as usual, shortly after- wards he complained of not feeling so well. Dr. Ryle and Dr. Daughtery came and everything was done that was humanly possible. He was resting more comfortably and knew everything until the last. His last hours were as he would have had them, as he had often remarked, he would like to pass away "with his shoes on", he was fully dressed and resting on his couch at his home when the final time came, with his loving wife and daughters near. He was a devout member of the Christian church, an Elder and for many years Superintendent of the Sunday School. A Past Master of the Walton Masonic Lodge and past Patron of the Eastern Star. He was a member of the Kentucky Board of Embalming. Mr. Chambers had lived in Boone County all his life, moving from Petersburg to Walton in 1906, where he has been engaged in the undertaking business every since; a senior partner of Chambers & Grubbs Funeral Directors. He is survived by his devoted wife, and daughters, Mrs. Aleen Chambers Conner, Mrs. Wallace Grubbs and Ella Mae Chambers, two granddaughters and three grandsons, a brother, Dr. W. K. Chambers and a sister, Mrs. Milo Atkinson of Los Angles, Calif. and a brother, Mr. Lawrence Chambers and sister, Mrs. Herma Mathews of Petersburg, Ky., several nieces and nephews and a legion of friends. Short services will be held at the Chambers & Grubbs Funeral Home Friday at 2 P. M., with burial in Highland Cemetery. Rev. R. F. DeMoisey will have charge of the services, assisted by Rev. Geo. Carolan, pastor of Christian church, Rev. Bedinger and Rev. Alford. Mr. Chambers nephew, Mr. Harry Mathews of Covington, assisted Mr. Grubbs with the funeral arrangements."
