He took a claim and remained three years then sold out and moved to Bigler’s Grove where he bought an interest in a saw-mill and operated it for some time. This mill was run by horse-power. He next went to Preparation, Monona County, and invested all he had but finally came away and left it all. He moved to Nebraska, bought an interest in a mill which he moved to Yankton, Dak., remained five years and on account of Indian troubles, abandoned his mill which became a dead loss for him. He loaded his household goods into a wagon and came away, counting life dearer than property. He moved into Calhoun Township near Magnolia, and kept hotel at the last named place one year and also conducted a hotel at Little Sioux, and ran a mill until 1870, in which he lost an arm. He then bought a farm on the Soldier, Jackson Township; he remained there until the date of his death in 1888. He was born in Bristol, Vermont, in 1820, the son of Abner and Amy Chase, who had ten children, three of whom still survive.
