The remains of the late Major Pinckney Brown Chambers, who died yesterday morning, were last evening taken to Statesville, where they will be interred this morning.
The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. C.M. Richards, pastor of the Presbyterian church there.
The following named members of the family accompanied the remains: Mr. and Mrs. J. Lenoir Chambers, Mr. Willoughby Chambers, Mr. and Mrs. R.A. Evans, Messrs. Richard and Lenoir Evans and Miss Rebecca Chambers.
Mr. J.P. Caldwell, who was out of the city, will join the funeral party in Statesville.
Acting as pall-bearers last evening and as an escort of honor to the Southern station, were Messrs. F.B. McDowell, W.C. Maxwell, E.D. Latin, W.S. Liddell, T.S. Franklin, E.S. Steele, and Dr. M.A. Bland.
Major Chambers was a native of Iredell County, having been born there January 28, 1821.
He was a son of Joseph Chambers and Margaret Brown of Salisbury.
He was married in August 1852, to Miss Justina Avery, at "Swan Ponds," the county seat of the Avery family near Morganton. Of the issue, by that marriage, the following named children are survivors: Messrs. J. Lenoir and Willoughby E. Chambers, and Mrs. R.A. Evans, of Charlotte.
Two other sons, who were identified with the life and interests of this city were Messrs. Henry W. and Avery Chambers, whose remains were buried in Statesville.
Notwithstanding his years, when a call was made for troops for the War Between the States, the gallant North Carolinian responded, and raised a company of militia from the counties of Iredell and Rowan. In command of that body, he went to the front, and by a succession of acts of bravery and prowess, was made Major of the Forty-Ninth North Carolina Regiment in General Ransom's Brigade. At the Battle of Malvern Hill, he received disabling wounds.
Major Chambers was of the highly refined and strongly simple type of the olden Southern Gentleman. Unpretentious and quiet in his manner, he spent the greater part of his life occupied with the interests of the planter.
Something more than twenty years ago, he left his old homestead at "Farmville," between Salisbury and Statesville, and removed to the last named town, where he continued to live until the death of Mrs. Chambers, in 1902. At that time he took up residence with his oldest son, Mr. J. Lenoir Chambers, on Tenth Avenue; where the worthy life drew peacefully to its close.
