Death of Frank B. Chute
By the death of Frank B. Chute Osage lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens. Here, before the advent of the railroad and while the country was a semi-wilderness, he cast his lot and helped to build the town,coming to Osage a half century ago and enduring many hardships during those early days.
F. B. Chute was born in Saco, Maine, December 21, 1831, and died November 30, 1905. If he had lived until the first of this month he would have been 75 years of age. He came to Osage in the year '56 and has lived here continously for nearly 50 years.
On July 9, 1854 he was married to Eliza A. Been of Conway, New Hampshire, and to them three daughters were born, two of them being taken from them by death when mere babes and one daughter Lillian, living to be ten years of age when she joined the others in their heavenly home. On March 12, 1869, his wife was called home.
October 15, 1871, Mr. Chute was married to Emma Flint, his present wife, who survives him. Two daughters were born to them, one daughter Mrs. Lulu Atherton, died November 9, 1897, the younger daughter, Mrs. Bessie Gutches is left to mourn a kind and loving father.
He is also survived by one sister, living in Saco, Maine, she being the last one of three sisters and two brothers. Two grandchildren are left. Pauline Atherton and William Gutches, both the pride of his heart.
Mr. Chute was a pioneer of the west, coming here in land sale time. He was closely identified with Mitchell county in many respects. As a man and citizen he was characterized by uprightness, sterling integrity, great kindness of heart and that charity which "thinketh no evil".
To do a kindness, to lighten a burden, to assuage a grief, seemed to yield him a genuine pleasure.
He was kindly disposed toward all men and lived at peace with the world. He was a good man, strong in his personal friendships and a kind, true friend and neighbor. Many of the brick buildings of Osage show his handiwork as he followed the business of stone mason all the earlier years of this residence here. Among the prominent buidings are the masonic block, the Seminary and the old Congregational church, which has been razed to the ground. His old home built by him nearly fifty years ago, still stands on Walnut street. During the later years of his life, owing to the infirmities of age and poor health he retired from active business. The deceased was a man of genial and kind hearted disposition that made many friends whom he always greeted in a cheery manner. Mr. Chute did not care for prominence and attended strictly to his own affairs, but when he saw a fellow being in need he would promptly and gladly extend a helping hand.
He will be much missed by the elder people of the community for he always enjoyed meeting his friends and giving them a hearty handshake and greetings.
He joined the Masonic lodge in 1859, being a member of the brotherhood for 47 years.
The funeral was held at his late home Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. Allen of the Congregational church. The Masonic brothers attended in a body and accompanied the remains to the cemetery where the Masonic burial service was observed, interment being in the family lot.
