Obituary - Jonathan T. Chambers
East Liverpool Tribune
Jonathan T. Chambers, aged about 60 years, of Oakland avenue, East End, a slipmaker by trade dropped dead at 8 o'clock yesterday morning (April 20, 1911) while engaged at his duties in the sliphouse of the new end of the Knowles, Taylor & Knowles pottery. Death is said to be due to heart trouble.
Mr. Chambers seemed in unusually good health and was in the act of placing a charge of clay on the clay car in the slip house when the attack seized him. He began to stagger and fell to the floor before his shopmates, noticing he was ill, could reach his side. Dr. W. A. Hobbs was summoned but Mr. Chambers died before his arrival. The body was removed in the Miller ambulance to the family home on Oakland avenue.
Mr. Chambers only recently recovered from the effects of a broken rib sustained in a fall in the sliphouse at the K. T. & K. plant about two weeks ago. He suffered a minor attack of heart disease at the time. He had been woking but a few days. The deceased had been in the employ of the Knowles, Taylor & Knowles company for 12 years and was popular with his fellow workmen. A son succumbed in a similar manner a few years ago. The deceased was a veteran of the Civil war. He was a member of the Fifth regiment, heavy artillery, Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Besides his wife, deceased is survived by several children.
