Chumasero, believed to be the first Filipino-American to reside in the State of Washington" [http://www.vintage-i nn.com/about] Bio Obituary – Alfred C. Chumasero In Vancouver, state of Washington on February 28, 1923, Alfred C. Chumasero entered into rest. And to his friends, wherever this paper finds them, is this tribute written of one whose business in life was Friendship. Left an orphan when a child, Fred's boyhood was spend with his uncle, Alfred Gillett, on a farm near Oberlin where he received his education, [graduating from OHS in 1881] and got his first start in business, and where he became a member of the First church when Dr. Brand was pastor. His health demanding change of climate he left Oberlin 1890, locating in Vancouver as a druggist. Here he united in marriage with Mary Estell Smith, daughter of early pioneers of Washington. Here the years of his life were spent, engaged in many enterprises, but his drug store always his business life. His integrity and conservative views won him respect and his friendly and sincere manner found its way among business men. He was not one to "shine" in church or social centers, but rather to quietly hold his own. Not one to amass wealth, for he was a sharer, ready to give the other man a chance as evidenced by his clerks who started in business for themselves through his advice and help. He was the friend of every child because of the mother-love denied his own childhood. Not blest with any child of his own but rejoicing in the son of his adoption, Alfred Otis Hill, just entering upon college life, and a nephew of Fred's wife. And so out of his beautiful home where he has spent happy years with his devoted wife, after two years of weary struggle to regain his health he has gone. His latest hours full of thanksgiving. His great desire to remain with his loved ones: "I hate to leave this beautiful world" he said, "but I have fought the good fight." And only those who know him best know how valiantly he won out. For such "there is no death." [The Oberlin News, Oberlin, OH, 8 Mar 1923, p. 3]
