Chambers landmark Ends Service
After 80 Years In Community
CHAMBERS-tin the forward
march of progress the old mast
inevitably make way for the new.
Though no one would want it
to be different, still some of the
older citizens may feel a few
pangs at the heart strings as the
ancient landmarks make their fi
nal exit.
In the village of Chambers on
the comer of Main street and the
street from the south which leads
to the Fair Grounds, has sUxxl
for many years a building with a
history dating back to pioneer
days. Just recently Chambers vet
eran house mover, Cecil Thornton,
put the jacks under it and hauled
it away. Unless another use can
be found for it he will later dis
mantle it board by board. In the
place on the corner where it has
served in various ways through
years will emerge a fine modern
structure to nouse me ivuuer
Grocery Store.
This old building, one of the
first in Chambers, was built In
the IBM’s at the small town of
Shamrock about five miles north
and was used ns a general store
operated by Tom Morris. The
land on which Shamrock stood
Is now owned by Mrs. John Wln
termote of Chambers. They tell
us that in this small store room
was also found for literary meet
ings and other entertainment
of the early s«dtlers.
It was in about the year of 1891,
after Shamrock was discontinued
that the building was purchased
by Alfred Anderson and moved to
a location at the southeast cor
ner of Amelia where it servrd as
a family residence. Being a frame
structure among sod buildings of
the time, we can imagine it as
holding a rather high status.
The R. C. Wry family came to
the Chambers Valley in 1884 and
t *>k a claim where the town of
Chambers was started. Mr. Wry
had a small store in a building
which is still being used by the
Damme Produce as a store house.
He later sold the store to G. L.
Barney in order to devote his time
to a post office and a paper “The
Chambers Bugle" in which he was
interested.
I he year lf!94 marks the period
which has gone down in history
ns the year of the great drought.
Many settlers, feeling they could
not subsist, sold what little they
had and left the country. Some

who could not sell their meager
belongings left anyway. The An
dersons were among the families to
leave and Mr. Barney bought the
building which had been their
home and moved it to Chambers
for his store.
After Mr. Barneys death, Mrs.
Barney sold the building to Lee
Baker, a druggist who was operat
ing a Drug Store where the pre
sent Co-op building now stands.
Mr. Baker soon moved his Drug
Store into his newly purchased
property where he continued it as
such until his death. It is still
known as the “Old Drug Store.”
Mr. and Mrs. Craig Baker, son
and daughter-in-law of the for
mer owner, operated it for a time
and then sold the drug and sun
dries to Walt Einkoph, a druggist
who came to Chambers from Wit
ten, S. D. In a short time Mr.
Einkoph moved into a new build
ing farther east.
From the time it closed its
doors as a Drug Sture it has hous
ed many and various projects.
George Kelly started up a locker
plant in the building, and Mr. and
Mrs. Boge Catron operated a
hatchery there. One Sommer the
newly organized Garden clubs of i
the community, looking for a place
for a lounge and exhibit room,
arranged an attractive place in i
the front of the building. The Har
ley Hardware purchased it in 1952 '
and for a time it housed their \
used appliances. When the Cham-i
hers school needed more room,
the shop was moved into it and it
remained a useful addition to the
school for about four years.
Sometime in the years that have
elapsed, two additions were built
onto the rear of the structure
which made it much larger than
the original store which stood at
Shamrock so long ago. However
the front of the building has re
mained the same and looks much
as it did then, defying father
tune.
If the building could talk we
would probably be reminded of
the blizzard of 1888, the drought
of 1894, the grasshopper plague,
the prairie fires, the old hay burn
ers used by the early settlers and
of course the blizzard of 1948 and
49. In it’s story too would be the
coming of our present day con
veniences. Finally before its de
mise it has witnessed the passing
over cf man’s latest creation, the
Satelite.
Many thanks to those who have
helped me gather information for
this article.
Mrs. E. R. Carpenter, Chambers.
