W. BRADLEY CHAMBERS
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 17 August 1922]
After an illness of only two weeks, the death took place last evening at his residence on East Main (606) of W. Bradley Chambers. Death was caused by heart trouble.
The late Mr. Chambers was seventy years of age. He was born in 1852 in Wainfleet, where he resided during the early part of his life. He moved to Welland when he was twenty-one years of age and took up business as a tinsmith in which capacity he became known not only in the city, but throughout the county. He continued his business until practically the time of his death.
Deceased was a member of the Methodist Church in Welland. He was also a member of the Masonic Order. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Florence Campbell of Benton Harbor, Mich., and two sons, Raymond and Douglas of Welland.
The funeral is to be held tomorrow afternoon from the family residence at 3 o’clock. Interment will take place at Doan’s Ridge Cemetery. Rev. Mr. Wells will conduct the service.
Mr. Chambers was in business longer than any former man in Welland. His shop was formerly on West Main street. He built the building now occupied by H. Robinson, jeweler, and for a time conducted business in the store now tenanted by the Glass music people.
He was always deeply interested in municipal affairs and a number of years ago was elected to the Town Council, where he served for two years.
Died: 16 August 1922
