From Larry Kee:
Selah, is buried in the Clark Cemetery with his second wife Jane Ellen
Bumgardner and a baby daughter. Selah's first wife Phoebe [Sarah] Henderson
died shortly after Charles Edward Chamberlain was born.
Selah, (Known, as Seely) and his family, moved from New York, to PA and after
son Charles was born, then they moved on to Michigan, and in 1866 they moved to
Illinois, and settled in Oconee Twp on part of what is now known as the Lee
Chamberlain farm.
PARTIAL INVENTORY AT DEATH: from a history book about Shelby CO, IL.
The lives of the early settlers were far from easy. Most clothing, food, and
small tools were made at home. Everything was valuable; not much was thrown
away. The store or trading post was probably several miles away, and money was
scarce. A partial inventory of Selah Chamberlain's estate at his death in 1868
is probably typical for the time; "Yoke oxen $150, 'rone' cow and calf $30,
two year old heifer $20, 11 head hogs $20, sow and pigs $6, black mare $20, 6
geese $1.50, 4 turkeys $3, 1 lot oats $17, 1 lot buck wheat $3, 1 lot seed corn
$3, wagon $10, large breaking plow $4, cultivator $1, grind stone $1.50, grain
cradle $1, 3 hoes $1, 4 axes $1, log chain and half bushel $1.25, cross cut saw
$4, chisels $.75, auger $.25, nippers and hammer $.50, corn knives $.25, empty
barrels $1, washing tub $.50, wash board $.10, churn $.50, jar and bowl $.25,
kettle $3, bedstead and bedding $18, oil cloth and table $4.25, cookstove and
cupboard ware $14, rocking chair $2, and many other similar items."
