Biographical Information
According to Burton W. Nesbitt, volunteer Lorain County coordinator for the National Graves Registration Project of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, he served as a corporal in Co. C of the 4th U.S. Colored Infantry. Because this is the only "Warren Chambers" or "W. D. Chambers" listed in the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System database, <http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm>, SMK assumes that he is the same person as the W. D. Chambers buried in G-16-04. Check the original burial register. A brief biography of the Chambers family appears on pp. 35-41 of William E. Bigglestone, They Stopped in Oberlin: Black Residents and Visitors of the Nineteenth Century (Scottsdale, AZ: Innovation Group, 1981).
