Biography: RUFUS L. CHASE Rufus L. Chase, elected Department Commander in 1920, was a native of New York. Born in March, 1847, he was only fourteen years of age when Fort Sumter was fired upon. Accordingly, some three years passed by before his enlistment in Company D, Third New York Cavalry, in August, 1864. At the close of the war young Chase returned to his native State, studied dentistry, and qualified himself for the practice of that profession. Perhaps it was in the decade of the seventies that he moved west -- locating at Parkersburg in Butler County, Iowa, where he practiced dentistry for two years. He was then appointed Deputy State Auditor and moved to Des Moines, where he continued to reside until the end of his career in January, 1928. For almost fifty years Comrade Chase served the Grand Army of the Republic in an official capacity as a delegate to the State Encampment, member of the legislative committee, member of the Council of Administration, Assistant Quarter Master General, Assistant Adjutant General, National Assistant Adjutant General, and Department Commander. To National Grand Army matters he gave much time and attention. In civic matters, too, he was prominent for many years. It was largely through his influence that the National Encampments of the Grand Army of the Republic were held in Des Moines in 1922 and in 1926.
