About Alexander Francis

Excerpt from Alexander Francis Chamberlain, Jan; 12, 1865, Apr; 8, 1914: In Memoriam When Dr. Chamberlain was still a child, his parents crossed the Atlantic and settled, for a time, near Bushnell's Basin, in the State of New York. It was here his schooling began. In a year or so, another move was made to Rochester. The stay here was brief - a few weeks only. The family then moved to Peterborough, Canada, ninety miles from Toronto. His father became a prominent business man and was elected a Town Councillor. Here, Dr. Chamberlain attended the Union School and the Collegiate Institute. He early gave promise of unusual scholarship. After a rapid course he passed, with honors, the Matriculation Examination for the University of Toronto, winning the scholarship (twenty dollars in gold) awarded by the Peterborough Collegiate Institute.
