CHASE Respected Pioneer of the Pacific Coast and of the Palouse. Charles A. Chase, a pioneer of the Pacific coast and of the Palouse country, died at his homestead five miles east of Colfax early Monday morning, February 18, aged 88 years, .*{ months and 5 days. Old age was the cause of death, and the end was peaceful and without pain. Deceased was born in Massachusetts, November 13, 1818. His early manhood was spent in Vermont, near the Green Mountains. From there he went to Illinois, where be remained for three years. Ever pushing west, and possessing the spirit that animated the Argonauts, he crossed the plains by ox team, arriving at Oregon City, Oregon, in June, 1851. He lived there 22 years, engaging in farming and operating a sawmill. In 1879 he came to Whitman county, which had been organized only two years previous, where he passed the remainder of his days, an honored and respected citizen. At first he directed his attention to building a saw and grist mill at a place then called Lincoln, near the present town of Elberton. In 1881 he took up the homestead where he ended his days. The funeral was held Wednesday at Bethel school house. Many friends congregated, the interment taking place at Colfax cemetery, where his body was placed beside that of his wife, who died nine years ago. Rev. C. P. Burnett officiated at the funeral ceremonies. Three children survive; E. S. Chase, who lives at Hartline, Douglas county; M. Q.. Chase living near Colfax, and Mrs. Emma Linn, who makes her home at Long Beach, Cal. The two former were present at the funeral. Full of years, rich in the inheritance of being known as an upright man. Respected by all, he filled life's span in a way to be emulated by old and young. Peace to his ashes.
