MRS. MARIA CHASE PASSES AWAY AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

The death of Mrs. Maria Chase took place Sunday morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. C. Broughton, following a sickness of just a week. She had
always been in almost perfect health until the few days before her taking
away.

Her maiden name was Maria Parcher. She was born in Poland, Maine, in 1831.
There she attended school and spent her childhood. In 1851 she was married
to Thomas J. Chase of Danville, Maine. They came to Wisconsin in 1855 and
settled on a farm in the town of Center. They worked hard and endured all
of the hardships incident to the pioneer life of those days. To them there
were born five children, all of whom are living: Frank A. Chase, Mrs. Emma
A. Cain of Evansville, Mrs. Alma Andrew of Magnolia, Mrs. Hattie Broughton
of this city, and Mrs. Hannah McCoy of Pittsville, Wis. Since the death of
her husband in 1888 she has made her home with her children, mostly with
Mrs. Broughton.

The funeral was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Broughton, Tuesday
afternoon and was conducted by the pastor of the Advent church of Magnolia,
Rev. C. H. Hewitt. The burial was in Maple Hill cemetery.
