OBIT-Auburn, NY-Weekly News and Democrat-1875

Death of Dr. Chamberlayne--Rev. Israel Chamberlayne, D.D., died at his residence in Lyndonville, Orleans county, on Saturday morning while seated in his chair. Dr. Chamberlayne was born in New York in 1795, and consequently was eighty years of age when he died. He was a profound thinker and an able preacher; also possessed fine literary abilities and was the author of several standard works on religious subjects. He did effective service in the Methodist itineracy for a long period and during the greater part of his ministerial career was a member of the Old Genesee, now Western New York, Conference. His first appointment was in 1813, at Northumberland, NY and he continued in the active work of the ministry until 1845 when he was superannuated. During the years 1836, '37 and '38, Dr Chamberlayne was editor of the Auburn Banner, now the Northern Christian Advocate and as an editorial writer was candid and vigorous. In '39, '40, and '41 he was presiding elder of the Buffalo district.

Auburn, NY-Northern Christian Advocate--Feb 1853--The Australian Captive, or Adventures by William Jackman. Edited by Rev. Israel Chamberlayne, Derby and Miller, 1853. Jackman is an Englishman but not sufficiently educated to throw his narrative into shape for the press. An able editor has therefore been employed to give form and polish to the story. Evey page of the work shows the editor's hand and yet the narrative is Jackman's. For varied, wild, and wonderful scenes, the book is almost unrivaled. We have read nothing in a long time so marvelous as the author's adventures among the cannibals of Australia. The work is a decided hit in the book-making line and cannot fail to have a large run . The typography is elegant and there are several striking embellishments.
