Jane Elizabeth Perry, a native of Fresno County, born in Centerville, [is] a daughter of Peter R. and Amanda (Lowrey) Perry, the father being a native of North Carolina, and related to Commodore Perry, and the mother a native of Tennessee.
Peter R. Perry was married in 1857 and crossed the plains to California [that same year] with the party that was massacred at Mountain Meadow[s]. [The Arkansas Emigrant Trains: "The Fancher Train", under the leadership of Capt. Alexander Fancher and "The Baker Train", under the leadership of Captain John Twitty Baker]. The party was divided into two trains, each taking a different route, and he was the captain of the train which escaped the [Mormons disguised as] Indians.
He settled on Kings River, near Centerville, Fresno County, and engaged in stock-raising. His death occurred in 1876, while his wife died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chambers in Fresno, on March 23, 1919.
Elizabeth's marriage, in 1884, united her with Mr. John T. Chambers of Fresno, CA. They own 160 acres of grazing land near Sycamore, Fresno County, and range about 400 head of cattle, turning off 125 head yearly. [They] have made [their] home in Fresno since 1914, [Mr. chambers] having served for two years as constable, at Academy.
Of the union of Mr. and Mrs. Chambers seven children are now living as follows: Wayne, ranching on Pine Ridge; Eleanor, the wife of H. A. Savage, an attorney of Fresno; Nellie, the wife of E. F. Brieger of Tehachapi; Annie Laurie is Mrs. Howard Perry, of Fresno; Belle Elizabeth, of Fresno; Ella, a graduate of Fresno High School, now attending Fresno State Normal School; and John. Jr., attending Fresno High School.
Fraternally, Mr. Chambers is a Woodman of the World, and an Odd Fellow. Mrs. Chambers recalls her childhood days in Fresno County, when, instead of the teeming city of Fresno, there was one vast plain over which roamed antelope and wild cattle.
