Levi Dale Chamberlin

and Levi Chamberlin on
Feb 24, 1924 as the oldest
of four brothers. He at-
tended school in Eagle Val-
ley. Dale left home at 17,
going to Portland where
he worked in the shipyards
before joining and serving
in the Merchant Marines
during World War II. He
always said they were the
only ones who would let
him serve since he had fl at
feet.
After coming back to the
Eagle Valley he purchased
ground in Eagle Valley and
in Sparta and ran beef and
dairy cows, and grew feed
for his cattle.
On April 12, 1953 he
married Edna Cramer in
Weiser, Idaho and they
came back to Eagle Val-
ley to live on his ranch.
Together they ran the ranch
for more than 50 years and
were very proud of the
improvements he made to
the ranch.
After retiring from
the hard labor of day to
day ranching, Dale could
often be found in his shop
working on various wood
projects. He enjoyed refur-
bishing old rockers, tables,
and chairs.
He also refurbished
the mail buggy his father
drove as postmaster
in Eagle Valley. Dale
enjoyed gardening and
talking about the history of
the valley with family and
friends.
He spent many after-
noons sitting on his front
porch with his dog Queen
watching people go by and
visiting with anyone who
stopped.
Dale loved being able
The
to go camping, hiking,
fi shing, hunting, and
huckleberry picking in the
Eagle Caps. When he was
younger Dale enjoyed
being able to take horses
and go packing. In his
later years he made walk-
ing sticks while sitting in
the campgrounds, which he
gave away and which have
been enjoyed by many.
Dale was a member of
the Eagle Valley Grange,
VFW, and the Odd Fel-
low Lodge. He served in
various membership roles
during his 75-plus-year
membership in the Eagle
Valley Grange.
