HIRAM CHAMBERS
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 25 March 1926]
News is received of the death in Detroit Tuesday of Hiram Chambers, a former Wellander and one well known in the district.
Mr. Chambers who was 75 years of age was a brother of the late W. Bradley Chambers of Welland. His father, John Chambers, built the Commercial Hotel here, but years later was lost when the sailing vessel Golden Gate went down off California.
Hiram Chambers was born in Welland and lived here until he was 40 years of age when he left for Springfield, Ont., where he ran a hardware and sheet metal business. He continued there for some ten years when he moved to Detroit entering the employment of the Ford Motor Company. Later he built a large business block near the company’s works.
He is survived by his wife, Ida, and three sons, Arthur of California, Will and Gordon of Detroit. George Clarkson of West Main street is a half brother.
Died: 23 March 1926
