Newport News Page Important Happenings and Local Notes from the County Seat. Fifty-threeYeara' Service nnlirnmntivei. The following extract from an article in the Boston Globe : James W. Cham berlin of Dorchester, Mass., will go on the pension roll of the Boston & Albany railroad New Years day, after x remarkable service with the company of 53 years and seven months, all of which was spent on locomotives. The longest period he was off duty during his long service was for three weeks in 1907. Another noteworthy feature of this service of more than a half century is that Mr. Chamberlin will retire with an absolutely clear record, which has never had a demerit for any cause placed against it. Mr. Chamberlin was born in Worcester, Dec. 17, 1844 and entered the employ of the road in 1861 as spare fireman and was advanced in time to engineer and in later years for two different periods was traveling engineer and once road foreman of locomotives, returning in 1903 to the position of engineer on through trains. In going on the retired list Mr. Chamberlin will carry with him the highest regard of everybody on the Boston & Albany from the highest official through all branches of the service where he is known. Mr. Chamberlin is best known in Orleans county and especially in Coventry and Newport, through his family. His wife was Ellen, daughter of the late Holland and Eliza Thrasher of Coventry and one son was a very frequent visitor at the home of his cousin. H. G. Blanchard, until his death a few months ago. his remains" being taken to Coventry for interment, as Vermont was the place he and his family loved. Customs Districts Consolidated.
