1882, which is a complete history of the
| Chandler family, the descendants OF
William and Annis Chandler, who set

and Mary CWhitney) Chandler, and was
| born in Columbus, Chenango County,
n. Y, August Is, 1896.
The father was a soldier of the war
of 1872 After the war he went out
| to Wisconsin, and at La Crosse sold
his bounty land. He was murdered in
| September, 1857, for the money he had
on his person. The mother lived to be
81 years of age, and was killed by fall
| ing down stairs, May 3, 1871.

had but one brother living at the time

Of his brother and had really no heir.

requested that if any one knew if

The volume referred to shows that the
Chandler family to which the deceased
was attached consisted of about II 200O
persons. Among them We're many dis
tinguished soldiers, publicists, artists
and clergymen. Among these We're B.
| F. Chandler, who retired in 1861 as a
commander in the United States navy,
and Zacharias Chandler, the great anti
slavery champion, statesman of ma
| tional renown, who was Secretary Of
the Interior in the Cabinet of Presi-
dent Grant.
Several years ago a man appeared in
Sacramento and to several persons an
nounced himself as a brother of Levi G..
Chandler. He did not, however per-
NIT the latter to see him. and it was
this incident that caused Mr.. Chandler
to send out the inquiry concerning his
brother, referred to above.
