My childhood in Weston was spent with open screen doors and listening to old country late on summer nights . My mother's favorite was Dolly and this ballad was one of them. This is more nostalgia than history and I'm.sure some can relate to Dolly's music . Her Appalachian heritage matched some of the pioneer settlers origins of Chambersville .

The lyrics go ..

There's a little rosewood casket
Sitting on a marble stand
With a packet of old love letters
Written by my true lover's hand

Go and bring them to me, sister
Read them o'er for me tonight
I have often tried, but I could not
For the tears that dimmed my eyes

When I'm dead and in my casket
When I gently fall asleep
Fall asleep to wake up in heaven
Dearest sister, do not weep

Take his letters and his locket
Place them gently on my heart
But this golden ring that he gave me
From my finger never part

There's a little rosewood casket
Sitting on a marble stand
With a packet of old love letters
Written by my true lover's hand

When in college I learned of the study of Thanatology or the study of death and Dying . Within that as spectrum of study is involvement and appreciation for cemeteries and restoration . I think something like this would greatly encompass chambersvilles interesting and diversified history .

Ever so often I like to post something funny and while the topic of ghosts might not be something everyone embraces this does speak for itself because you do become attached to certain people even though they've been gone on long before you existed. There are many people buried at chambersville that have evoked a physical emotional reaction out of me when I learned their story. Elijah Chambers is one of those people that interests me amongst 30 others that I have sat down and done physical research on.
