15, 1848, In Harrison County, O., died Oct., 26, 1912, aged 63 years, 10 
months and 10 days.

children, five sons viz. Jerry C. of Dayton, O., Millard A. of Carpenter, O.,

Weighed down with the cares of her family, her church opportunities were 
slight, but her home life was a beautiful example of the christian wife and 
mother, her entire mind being occupied by the thought of the comfort and 
happiness of her family and friends.  In June of this year the family were 
greatly shocked to learn that Mrs. CHASE was suffering from cancer.  She was 
immediately taken to Columbus for treatment, where she remained some six 
weeks, during which time she always displayed the same cheerful disposition 
which surrounded her in her home like.  After being brought home she seemed 
to improve but again the dreaded disease manifested itself and after some 
weeks of patient suffering she was relieved of her earthly troubles.

During her illness she expressed herself to members of her family as being 
ready for the future and wanted to meet them all in heaven.

She is survived by a husband, one brother, Jerry GOTSCHALL, of Harrisonville, 
and four sisters, Mrs. Owen G. NORTON of Garland, Wyo., Mrs. John STILES, 
Harrisonville, Mrs. Charles WINN, Rutland and Mrs. Earnest WARNER,
