there is an Ellen Chamberlain, who died in Nov 13, 1909 at age 75, which would match up
with the censues at 1834/5. There is also a Miss Ellen Chamberlain in 1904
Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette, 1900-June-30
FOR MRS. CHAMBERLIN
Mrs. Ellen CHAMBERLAIN entertained a number of the W.R.C. ladies yesterday afternoon at
her home on Third street west. In honor of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Etta CHAMBERLAIN of
Chicago. The ladies spent the hours from three to five in a pleasant, informal visit,
concluding with refreshments. Those present were Mesdames Jennie I. Berry, Farmer,
Fordyce, Morcombe, Lane, Keyes, Spealman, Margaret CHAMBERLIN, Mary Smith, Conn, Smith,
Tisher, and Miss. Chloe Conn
Okay - this really looks like KILEY, but RILEY makes more sense if your records are
correct
