CHAMBERLAIN, AARON RILEY:

   Two undated (ca 10-1901), unnamed newspaper obituaries:
   1)"CHAMBERLAIN. - Aaron R. Chamberlain was born in Moravia, NY, Nov. 3, 1831,
and died at his home in Berlin Center, Mich., Oct 26, 1901, being 60 years, 11
months and 20 days old.
   When about thirty years of age he came to Michigan, settling in Berlin
Center.  He lived an honest, upright, faithful life.  A kind father and loving
husband, children and wife feel their loss keenly.  He was married three times,
his first wife, Elizabeth Hagle, leaving one son, Allie, one child dying in
infancy.  The second wife, Jane Steele, also left one son, Charles.  In 1867 he
married Mrs. Sarah Lillie, who with two sons, Herbert and Chancey, survives him.
 One daughter, Pearl, was awaiting her father in heaven.  His family was a
worthy testimonial to his character.  In 1867 he converted under the preaching
of Bro. G. C. Draper from Rom. 2:5.  He joined the M. E. church and has been a
faithful member.  The church building at Berlin Center is largely a monument to
the patience and perseverance of himself and his wife.  He talked salvation to
his friends and neighbors until the last.  For four years he suffered much from
organic heart disease, but bore his suffering patiently.  He left a good
testimony that all was well and he felt ready to go.  The church and community
will miss him.  Rev. W. Aldrich spoke words of comfort from Rom. 8:18.  The
church was filled with mourning friends.  His pew was draped in mourning.  The
interment took place at the Saranac cemetery."

   2)"Obituary.  Aaron R. Chamberlain was born in the state of New York in 1831.
 He came to Berlin thirty-five years ago and has made it his home until the day
of his death, Saturday, Oct. 26, 1901.  For four years he has been unable to do
much heavy work and much of the time for a year past has been a constant
sufferer.  He was very patient and always appreciative of any kindness shown. 
Mr. Chamberlain leaves a wife and four sons besides many relatives and friends
who will miss him from among them.  The funeral was held on Tuesday at the
Berlin Center M. E. church of which he has been a member for many years.  Rev.
Aldrich preached from Romans 8:18.  He was buried in the Saranac cemetery."
