My great grandfather was Thurman Chambers and the brother of Edward Chambers. He was once
the Sherriff of Mingo County. He was married to Josephine Price Chambers. They had 8
children but the 1st child died. The 7 surviving children were: Helen, Roy, Paul,
Howard, Ruth, Sallie, and Thurman Jr. Thurman Chambers was originally buried in the same
cemetery as his brother Edward Chambers which is the Buskirk Cemetary in Matewan but was
relocated to a different resting place in Williamson per his widow's request at a
later time prior to her death. His daughter Sallie B. Chambers Dickens (my grandmother)
passed away on March 4, 2014 at the age of 91 years and was laid to rest in the Buskirk
Cemetary where her Uncle Ed Chambers also rests. She was a blessing to us all and we will
miss her dearly. I hope this information is helpful to anyone wanting some information on
some of the Chambers of Matewan, WV.
