James Hamilton CHASE was born in the state of Ohio, Aug. 26th, 1841, and died at Independence, Iowa, Sept. 21st, 1887. His funeral service was conducted by Rev. S. T. McKIM, Sept. 23, in the M.E. church, at Postville, Iowa, and for the first time in 46 years, he was at rest. We laid him carefully by the side of the christian mother whose love for him was proverbial, and who doubtless gives him welcome to the skies. Two brothers and numerous friends followed him to the grave. Our church has every reason to remember his parents with gratitude.

Card of thanks. I wish to return my sincere thanks to the many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted at the funeral and burial of my brother, recently deceased. W. I. CHASE
