I have an original 6"x9" Cabinet Card photograph of "Ethel Chambers",
which I'd like to get back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in
Augusta (Hancock Co.) IL and she looks about age 25-30.
I found Ethel in the 1880 census for Hancock Co., IL, age 5 months, daughter of Ahijah
Chambers (42) and wife Mary (37). In 1900 census for same location, Ethel A. Chambers,
showing birth in Dec 1879, still lived with her parents. The previous posting for Elton,
Thelma and Doris Chambers are the nieces and nephew of Ethel, since she and Frank Chambers
(father of the children) are siblings, shown in 1880 census. Illinois Death Index shows
Ethel A. Chambers Bacon born 12 Dec 1879, dau of Ahijah, wife of Benjamin Bacon, and she
died 9 Aug 1947 Peoria, IL.
Get back to me at margerice(a)prodigy.net if you are related to Ethel A. Chambers Bacon of
Hancock Co. & Peoria Co., IL.
