Bio

Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Newsletter, Mar 3, 1855, p. 3 ELIJAH CHAMBERS Died in Washington Township, Owen County, Indiana, January 12, 1855, Mr. Elijah Chambers. He was born near Georgetown, Maryland, on the 20th of September, 1772, and was, at the time of his death, in the 83rd year of his age. He was for 60 years a member in the communion of the Regular Baptist Church and for 57 years was a preacher of the gospel. In his long life he exemplified in his daily walk the faith which for so many years he had professed and preached. In 1818 he removed to Owen County, then almost entirely a wilderness, where he continued to reside until his death. His death was occasioned by a stroke of palsy which deprived him of speech for the last few days of his life. He left the aged companion of his life with whom he had lived 58 years together with his neighbors and a numerous kindred to lament his departure.

Inscription

"He was for 55 years a preacher of the Gospel of the Regular Baptist Church."
