George W. Chase Of Muir Dies At His Home Tuesday

Lyons Township Pioneer Follows Wife In Death

Following close after the death of his wife, George W. Chase, 77, well known
resident of Muir, died Tuesday morning as the result of apoplexy.  Mrs. Chase
died six weeks ago and, it is believed, grief over her death hastened the
husband’s death.

Mr. and Mrs. Chase were married in April 1876 and settled on the Chase farm
where they continued as inseparable companions until a few years ago when
failing health caused them to decide to move into the village.

He was well and favorably known throughout the township and was a loyal and
active member of the Church of Christ at Muir.  He was known to be a man who was
unswerving in his belief that strict honesty in all of his dealings was the only
proper thing and was often referred to as “Honest George” Chase.

Surviving him are five children, Mrs. Arthur Case, Ionia; William Chase,
Detroit; Mrs. Joseph Hoople, Birmingham; James O. Chase, Muir and Mrs. Fred
Hubbard, Detroit.

Funeral services are Thursday afternoon from the home at Muir.

[Transcriber’s note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was
buried in Muir Oakwood Cemetery.]
