JOHN CHASE

John Chase passed away Thursday morning, February 12th, at his home in the town of Morris.

He was born in Pittsfield, February 17, 1843, the son of Daniel and Sally (Bartlett) Chase. He enlisted in the Civil War at about the age of twenty, and served until its close in Company G, Second Regiment, New York Heavy Artillery. While taking part in the battle of Gettysburg he was hit by a shell and rendered deaf for the remainder of his life.

August 7, 1866 he married Helen M. Hurlbutt, who with three children Albert Chase of Morris, Mrs. F. G. Bolton of Syracuse and Mrs. G. W. Sprague of Morris, survive him. He also leaves nine grandchildren; two great grandchildren; one brother and two sisters, to mourn his loss.

It is worth noting that while he was acting as nurse, after recovering from wounds, in a Washington hospital, he saw Abraham Lincoln many times, and died on the anniversary of the birth of the great man he so much admired.

Funeral services were held at the house Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock the Rev. F. G. Leonard officiating.
