MR. JAMES CHINNERY, whose death occurred on Sunday, was one of the few of those remaining among us, who were the real pioneers; he came to this county, then a wilderness, when to clear up a farm in this far country was a serious thing. MR. CHINNERY, with his family, came to Mason county in a wagon over twenty years ago; he has been a resident of Amber since that time, and during those years he has established a home for himself and family here, never forgetting to be fitted for the mansions prepared for him, as he believed, from the foundation of the world. He was seventy-seven years of age; though the years he had been past all active labor he was stirring in his sttendance to life's duties unto a short time before his death. A good citizen, an honest man, a consis- tant christian has gone to his reward. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. HANSOM, of this city, at the Rickey school house, on Friday; the house was crowded with the friends and neighbors of the deceased. ==========================================================================
