Biographical.
Rev. Mr.. Chase was among the pio-
neers of the territory. He was the
first pastor of the Methodist church
in this city, which he assisted in or
ganizing in 1878.
Subsequently, during the governor
ship OF A. C. Mellette, he was appoint
ed to the position of railroad COM
missioner, serving with credit for a
series of years.
He was also prominent in the farm
ers' organizations of the early days
Of statehood, serving as treasurer and
lecturer of the Farmers Alliance for
several terms. In 1891, during a
deadlock in the election of a senator
to succeed Gideon C. Moody-a dead
lock which terminated in the election
of James II. Kyle-Mr. Chase was
urged by numerous friends to become
a candidate, but declined to consent
to the use of his name.
Mr.. Chase was born in Sullivan
county, Neb., July 25, 1881, and he
was therefore within four days OF SIS
years of age.
On April Z, 1853, when % years old,
he was united in marriage with Miss
Tirzah j. Turner, daughter of Archi-
bald Turner of New Hampshire. Mrs
Chase died January "a, 1895.
Prior to his marriage he had COM
pleted a course in the Nashua Acad-
envy in New Hampshire. In 1859 he
removed to Wisconsin where he en-
gagged in church work, continuing
therein until his retirement from the
pulpit, excepting to preach occasion
ally, some twenty odd years ago.
Mr.. Chase was a man of intellectual
attainments and rugged personality.
He was widely known throughout the
territory of Dakota and afterwards
became prominent in state affairs.
He is survived by a daughter (Mrs.
McBath), and several grandchildren,
besides numerous relatives in various
states.

Last Friday Rev. A. d. Chase pass,
ed away at the home of his daughter
Mrs. Thomas McBath, 313 First street
S. w, where he has made his home
for some years, following the death
of his beloved wife.
The funeral was held Sunday after.
noon at the Methodist church, a large
congregation being present to pay
their respects to the departed. Rev.
F. F. Lewis, pastor Of the church,
preached the sermon from the text
found in Second Corinthians, fourth
chapter, eighteenth verse. "The
things which are seen are temporal,
but the things which are not seen are
eternal"
Mr.. Lewis spoke very eloquently
and earnestly, saying, in part:
Father Chase came into this com
munity then not merely as a pioneer
to settle the plains, but as a prophet
of God to establish righteousness in
the midst and he becomes the founder
of a church and today his life is per-
manently set in the memory of men.
It cannot die because it is set in eter-
nifty. What he saved, you ask? He
has saved just what he has given
away. All that a man saves in this
world, after all, is what he gives
away. What he leaves to be disposed
after him will be disposed of after
the usual customs of men. 1t will
sink in the sum total of life and be
forgotten. But what he gave Of his
life and means to establish, an institu-
ton of religion will abide when even
the generation that now lives will
have gone the same journey that he
has gone.
"If you had the opportunity to
come into this community as Father
Chase came many years ago and were
given the same opportunity to select
what you would that might remain,
you probably would select, as many
JlAOLS tilA5of WIlCu diS IuOIS SOuSuG
after by men. You would probably
say to the man who was building a
little church on the corner that he
was a fool; and what is the use any
how when everybody is poor to take
their needed money and build it into
a thing like a church. But you are
forgotten and the man who selects
the lot to build the church of God is
permanently set in memory. So has
it gone in life and so will it go in
life. The things which are seen are
only temporal while the things, which
are not see r eternal. If you had
the opportunity to select, you could
select nothing that would assure
your permanency in this community
as to be the founder Of a church Of

gratitude 10 the paper for the inter
est it has shown in furthering the

pearing on the back page Of the
