Mrs. Esther E. Chambers, for a number of years a resident of Smethport and vicinity, died at her home on West State street, Olean, Tuesday night of paralysis of the heart, after an illness of nearly six months.
For several years after the death of her husband, Mrs. Chambers conducted a millinery store on Main street at this place. The establishment was destroyed by fire last summer and Mrs. Chambers in company with her mother, Mrs. J. H. Sowers, and only child, Beulah, moved to Olean.
Mrs. Chambers was a lady who enjoyed the esteem of a large circle of friends, and her death is deeply regretted by all who know her. She was a member of the P. H. C. L. O T. M. and W. R. C. The bereaved mother and daughter have the sympathy of all to their hour of [affliction].
The remains will be brought to Smethport Saturday [noon], and the funeral held at St. Luke's church, Rev. Day officiating. The L. O. T. M. P.N? C? and W. R. C. will be in attendance. Interment in Rose Hill Cemetery.
