L. CHAMBERLIN
L. CHAMBERLIN, proprietor of the Spring Hill Mills, was born in Warren County, Ohio in 1845 and reared on a farm, and followed farming as an occupation. He enlisted in 1864 in the One Hundred and Forty-sixth Ohio Infantry and served a few months, after which he again returned to his farm. He came to Spring Hill, Kansas, in the spring of 1869, and has been engaged in farming ever since. He has some 200 acres of land, all under cultivation; he is also engaged in grain and live stock business since 1872, and in April, 1882, he purchased the Standard Mills at this place and now conducts them as the Spring Hill Mills and elevator. They are run by steam and have a capacity of 100 barrels of flour per day. Mr. C. was married in Spring Hill, January, 1872, to Fannie Coons, daughter of Dr. I. A. Coons, of this place. They have two children, Gale and June.
