The photo at right is a tintype of Anna Ellis Chandler, 3rd wife of Little Chandler. Little and Anna are said to have both died of "the fever" that swept through Van Buren County, Tennessee, in 1869. Little and Ann were the parents of Lorenzo Dow Chandler (above), and Little was the son of Jonathan Chandler (born March 17, 1786, in Friedland, Rowan - now Forsyth - County, North Carolina; died 1823, Cape Girardeau, Missouri). Jonathan’s wife and Little’s mother was Elizabeth Elrod. The family believes there is a Cherokee Indian connection in the late 1700s or 1800s. The Chandler lineage of this family is currently unknown beyond Jonathan born 1786.
Laudie, Envie, Perry and Maud Chandler in Ohio Laudie Chandler and Envie Castle married 24 January 1935. Perry N. Chandler married Maud Thompson in 1930 in Beaver, Ohio. As of late 2011, all nine children from this union are living. Below are pictures Linda took on a 2011 trip to Beaver, Ohio, with her father Charles. The log cabin (at left and center) was at one time owned by Laudie and Envie Chandler. Before Laudie and his family owned the cabin, Linda's grandparents, Perry and Maud Chandler, rented it. Their son Charles (Linda's dad) was born in the right half of the cabin (the bedroom) in 1939, and his cousin Phyllis was also born there. That's Charles standing in the back door of the cabin in the center photo. The photo at right is of a barn that is "across the hollow" from the cabin.

Although the newspaper writeup of the reunion makes no mention of Masons, Jon Paul describes it as a "gathering of Free Masons and Confederate Soldiers of Springville, Alabama made in 1903." Jon Paul says, "I only identified the first person on the right that is seated. He is my great grandfather William L. Chandler, born Jan 1, 1836, born in Greenville, South Carolina and served in the Lousiana Caldwell Guards in 1861 for three months, then in the 42nd Alabama as an ambulance driver (pulled by team of mules) from 1862 until discharged and pardoned in North Carolina April, 1865."
