D. P. CHASE DIES SUDDENLY

Our people were greatly surprised Saturday evening when they learned of the sudden death of D. P. Chase. Mr. Chase had not been in the best of health since last summer when he was injured by a horse, but none thought his condition serious. In fact he ate one of the heartiest dinners on the day of his death that he had eaten in a long while. Between the hours of 4 and 5 o’clock Mrs. Chase left the house for a bucket of coal and on her return found him lying on the floor dying. Heart failure was the immediate cause.

David Parkhurst Chase was born in Washington Co., Penn., June 17, 1846 and died at his home in Solomon, Kansas, Dec. 19, 1914 at the age of 68 years, 6 months and 2 days. He enlisted in Co. B West Virginia Cavalry in March 1863 and lived the life of a soldier until the close of the Civil War.

On March 16, 1871 he was united in marriage to Miss Levina Jane Dixon. To this union was born 7 children, 3 boys and 4 girls. The children are Milton C. Chase, Mrs. Nellie Elliott, Mrs. Ruth Smith, Mrs. Edith Hobbs, and Lester Chase of this place, Mrs. Nettie Smith of Guilford, Mo., and Benjamin H. Chase of Mosida, Utah. Besides these children, his wife, a sister, Mrs. A. D. Baldwin, and 12 grand children survive him.

In the year 1877 he moved with his family to Ellsworth, Kans., where he lived 11 years and from this place moved to Harrison County, Mo. After living in Missouri for 15 years he moved back to Kansas and located o a farm near Solomon and then after a year moved into Solomon where he lived until the time of his death.

When he was 23 years of age he united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church where he held his membership until his death. He lived a good clean life and believed in the Christian life and in the church. There are men with whom you could get acquainted easier than with Mr. Chase but after you once got acquainted with him he was always a true friend and a good conversationalist and you appreciated his sterling worth.

The funeral services were held at the M. E. church Tuesday afternoon with the local pastor, Rev. O. B. Allen in charge.
