Published in the Piscataquis (ME) Observer 28 May 1863 p3: "DIED---In Bethlehem, Pa., Hon. Anson G. Chandler of Calais. His remains were taken to Calais for interment."

"...The next lawyer was the Hon. Anson G. Chandler, the son of the Hon. John Chandler of Monmouth, Me., at one time a senator in the U.S. Congress. A graduate of Bowdoin College and a proficient in law, he came to Calais in 1822 and opened an office. His ability and energy soon won the confidence of the public; and his reputation steadily increased until he was appointed one of the Judges of the District Court for the Eastern District of Maine. He performed the duties of this office with credit to himself and honor to the Bench, until the expiration of his term when he was appointed Collector of Customs for the Passamaquoddy District; but the appointment not being confirmed by the U.S. Senate, he was soon after sent to the Sandwich Islands, as American Consul. He remained there four years, returned home with impaired health and died about 1860.
He had a richly stored mind and a versatile genius; and the people of Calais will ever remember him as one of their greatest and most honored townsmen." ('Annals of Calais, Maine and.....)
