Anna W. Chace

Chenango Union, June 5, 1872

In Preston [Chenango Co., NY], Widow Anna W. Chace, aged 92 years.  She with her husband (the late Capt. David Chace) moved into Preston about seventy years ago, and she lived and died on the farm her husband purchased sixty-six years ago.  She lived to see the county and town in which they first settled, changed from a howling wilderness to green pastures and beautiful meadows.  She possessed great physical strength and endurance, for during the clearing of the first fifty acres of their farm, she attended to her household duties by day, and assisted her husband by night, in burning logs and brush.  She leaves two sons and one daughter to mourn her departure; yet they mourn not like those who have no hope of meeting in a higher life.  Mrs. Chase lived to do good.  Liberal in her religious opinions, she always felt it her duty to help the poor and unfortunate.  Always calm and confiding, she looked upon the bright side of life, and was cheerful and happy.  Her funeral was attended by a large concourse of friends, who came out to perform the last duty we owe our departed ones.  Sermon by Rev. A.G. Clark, of DeRutyter, Text, 2d Cor., 5th chap., 1st verse.
