Letters were also received at the same time, which were written yesterday, stating that Dr. Chase's father, Dr. S. B. Chase, was very low and probably would live but a short time. Though the telegram this morning did not state that ho was dead it is probable that he is. Dr. Chase was about 70 years of age and has been for a long time one of the prominent citizens of Osage. He attended the meeting of the State Medical Association in this city this spring and seemed to be among the jolliest of the visitors to the city on that occasion. For sometime past, however, he has suffered with the grip, which sapped his vitality and of late he has been gradually sinking. He was a member of the Equitable Mutual Life and Endowment Association, of this city. [ Waterloo Daily Courier, Saturday, June 20, 1891 ] ------------------------------------ (biographical article) Dr. C. S. Chase, the medical director of the Equitable, had prepared a paper for the medical department, but the sickness of his father will probably compel him to remain at Osage. [ Waterloo Daily Courier, June 16, 1891 ] --------------------------------------------- biographical article) In the winter of 1855-56 Dr. S. B. Chase of Decorah purchased land laying in the southwestern part of the tract. (Osage). In the spring, he and other interested parties platted the present city of Osage. The streets were sixty-six feet in width with the exception of Main Street, which was one hundred feet wide. The alleys were about twenty feet in width. The streets running east and west were generally named for trees. The streets running north and south were numbered. Dr. Chase, who named all the streets, was responsible for setting out the maple trees, which line the streets. If people were not able to buy, he gave them trees, even helping to plant them. He had come from Portland, Maine, a city lined with trees. The glorious autumn colors of these Maples are annually a fitting tribute to this pioneer. [Osage 1956 Centennial Book] ------------------------------ The Osage Cemetery listing on IaGenWeb shows: CHASE, S. B. (loc.) 0143 12 (death/burial) 19 JUN 1891 ----------------------------------------- While long known as "The City of Maples," Osage has actually been home to many kinds of trees lining it’s boulevards for decades. Its streets are largely named for trees: Ash and Oak, Walnut and Pine. Add to that Elm, Poplar — and of course, Maple (both a lane and a street). Sumner B. Chase is responsible for the tribute to trees. A native of New England, Chase, one of Osage's earliest pioneers, felt his new prairie home needed softening with the greenery provided by trees. Perhaps he missed the vibrant colors of New England autumns. Mason City Globe Gazette Aug 13, 2014
