THOMAS H. CHAMBERS.

    Thomas H. Chambers, who is engaged in ranching at Smithfield, was there born
June 10, 1876, his parents being Alfred and Mary (Langton) Chambers. The father
was born in Gloucestershire, England, while the mother came from Lancastershire,
England. They arrived in Utah about 1855 and went to Smithfield in 1859. There
the father engaged in farming. Seth Langton also arrived at Smithfield in 1859
and William Chambers came in 1861. In community affairs Alfred Chambers took a
deep and helpful interest, serving for fourteen years as a member of the city
council, during which time he exercised his official prerogatives in support of
many well defined plans and measures for the general good. He was also a member
of the school board and he was actively connected with the work of canal and
road building, thus contributing to the development of the state. He belonged to
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was a high priest.

    Thomas H. Chambers acquired his early education in the public schools of
Smithfield and afterward attended the Utah Agricultural College of Logan in 1895
and 1896. Later he was for one term a student in the Brigham Young College. He
then filled a mission to the northern states, going in the summer of 1897 and
returning in 1899. He afterward engaged in farming and stock raising and has
since carried on general agricultural pursuits, his success being the direct
outcome of his close application and indefatigable energy.

    In 1900 Mr. Chambers was united in marriage to Miss Donna Done, a daughter
of George and Alice (Smith) Done, who were natives of England and came to the
United States about 1850, making their way across the country to Utah. About
1861 they settled at Smithfield. Three children were born to Mr. Chambers of his
first marriage: Lemoyne, Seth L. and George. The wife and mother passed away in
1909 and in January, 1912, Mr. Chambers was married to Grace Nelson, a daughter
of Robert J. and Ellen Nelson, the former a native of Scotland and the latter of
Ireland. There are two children of this marriage, Barbara and Evelyn. Mr.
Chambers has always resided at Smithfield, where he is highly esteemed as a
substantial citizen and progressive business man.
