NOTED ARTIST, ILLUSTRATOR DIES SUDDENLY
New York, Nov. 6. Charles Edward Chambers, 58, a leading illustrator whose work has appeared in many magazines, died last night of a heart attack.
Chambers was born in Ottumwa, IA., and started his art career there by drawing a realistic-appearing dollar bill on the menus of the Ottumwa Dollar Luncheon club, a work he afterward discovered constituted a violation of the counterfeit laws. Later he studied art in Chicago.
Chambers' first wife, Fanny Munsell, an artist, died in 1920. In 1924 he married Pauline True, a model for some of his work. His widow and a son, Richard, by his first marriage survive.
