ELBRIDGE G. CHASE, OLD
RAILROAD MAN, is DEAD

Elbridge G. Chase, for years a conduc-
tor on the Maine Central railroad, died
Of cerebral hemorrhage on Tuesday at the
home Of his son, ]. f. Chase, in Center
Barnstead. y. II, Mr.. Chase was born
Dec. 16, 1886, at Sebec, his parents being
Owen and Lucinda Rurrill Chase. He is
survived hy his brother, Frank c. Chase
Of MillinOcket, two sons OF his first mar
rage to Miss Juliet Lanpher. George s.

Lillian D Chase. son. ]. z. Chase of

Chase and Mrs. A. B. Chandler Of New
York.
Nov. II. 1868, Mr.. Chase began construc-
tion work on the Bangor & Piscataquts
railroad. He built - miles Of track
between Dover and Milo. When the

emergency will long be remembered by
elder residents OF Maine in connection
with he Boyd mill accident. when engi-
neer, fireman and two mail clerks met an
untimely death. The remaining mail
clerk Caleb Palmer Of this city. perhaps
owes his existence today to the logged.

a warm nest always inviting. They whisk
