 | | Chandler issued several thousand dollars of “scrip,” of the denomination of five, ten, twenty-five and fifty cents each, which were readily received by the people everywhere, and we doubt not that today there is a small quantity of this currency scattered throughout the country and held as a souvenir of the war. |
 | | V Chandler, who is without doubt McDonough county's most prominent and enterprising citizen, was born in the first ward of the city of Macomb, on the 25th day of January, 1843, and is still a resident of the same ward. |
 | | Chandler is the largest property owner in Macomb, being the builder and owner of the Opera House block, which is known as Chandler’s Block, besides which he has eight other large, brick business buildings located on the square. |
