"The North Loup Loyalist", North Loup, Nebraska, Friday, Nov. 28, 1913, p 1.
Henry A. Chase was born in Jefferson county, New York, February 12, 1837, and died at his home in this village Thursday afternoon, November 20, 1913, aged nearly 77 years.
When about 18 years of age he went with his father to Wisconsin. Here he attended the common schools of the state and for a time was a student in Albion Academy. For more than ten years he was a teacher in the schools of Wisconsin, and in that work as well as any other he undertook he made good.
September 28, 1859, he was married to Miss Delia Babcock, who, with their only child, Mrs. E. W. Black, together with her husband, three children and one grand child, survives him. He leaves, too, one brother.
While teaching at Berlin, Wisconsin he was converted and joined the Seventh Day Baptist church at that place. Later he transferred his membership to the church of his faith at Brookfield, Missouri, where the family lived for several years before coming to this place in 1879. Upon coming to this place he became a member of the S. D. B. church here, and during all the years of his life among us he was one of the most ardent workers of the church holding a prominent position always in the official family. He was too, always a teacher in the Sabbath school and was a regular attendant at the church prayer meeting, always taking a prominent part in the services.
For many years Mr. Chase was a member of the school board, was one of the county commissioners and later a county supervisor.
In all affairs of life his council was eagerly sought as his was a keen conservative mind and he was a deep thinker always having the best interests of the community at heart.
In the spring of 1861 at the call of duty he enlisted in Company G, 37th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He was soon promoted and when mustered out was Commissary sergeant. He had a part in the campaign about Richmond and at the unfortunate mine disaster at Petersburg he was wounded and taken to City Point. He was able to return to active service, however, and was present with his regiment at the surrender of Lee to Grant.
Funeral services were held at the church at the regular hour of service Sabbath morning, November 22, and the body was laid to rest in the beautiful city of the dead west of the village.
Another good man has gone, and in going has left a legacy of good works, honesty of purpose and an influence for good that is worth more than houses and lands.
