Reuben Chambers was of Quaker parentage and inherited many of the well-known traits of that sect, who are noted for their high moral character, general intelligence and their desire to investigate things for themselves and not take their opinions from others. Reuben received a good common school education, and being fond of reading and investigating continued to learn all his life. He had great faith, moreover, in his own ability and would tackle without hesitation every new question or ism or doctrine that sprung up, no matter how weighty or difficult it might be, and after making up his mind about it would defend his conclusions with great zeal. It must be confessed, however, that Reuben had many novel ideas and queer ways of doing things. For example, his mode of securing a wife was quite unique. It was related by himself about as follows : " When I got old enough to think about marriage I got myself a neat memorandum book to carry in my pocket. Whenever I saw a girl that I thought would be suitable I entered her name and resi dence in this book, and when I had about twenty names I started in to get acquainted with them. In this I did not adopt the usual plan and call on the girls in the evening when their work was done and they were presumably fixed up. I called in the gay time when they were at work or should be ; many of them I found at the wash tub. I never remained very long and could generally make up my mind in one or two visits whether they would suit me or not. When I decided that any one would not suit I crossed her name off, but in the meantime continued to add new names as at first. I continued this until my book contained about eighty names, and all but one was crossed. I was then ready to marry. So I went to see her and told her I wanted to marry and believed her the most suitable girl for me that I was acquainted with, and that if she was willing t o marry me I should be very glad. She said she was willing, so we were married very soon."
