HORACE S. CHASE, a worthy
agriculturist of Clark County, has been a resident of Wisconsin
since his fifteenth year, and will be here allotted space in this
biographical record of the county. He was born in St. Lawrence
County, New York, in the town of Stockholm, June 13, 1836, and is a
son of Theodore and Huldah (Osgood) Chase. Theodore Chase was born
in New Hampshire, near Swanzey, and was a son of Abner Chase. He
was reared in Vermont, served in the war of 1812, and was shoemaker
by trade he was also interested in farming he took up his residence
in St. Lawrence County, New York early in life, and there passed
the remainder of his days. His death occurred in 1840. His wife was
married a second time to Mr. Hart, of St. Lawrence County, New
York, and both were killed by a runaway team about the year
1871.
Horace S. Chase is one of a family of ten children: John F.,
Frederick, Huldah, Philander, Caroline, Charles E., Emroy, Minerva
and Lorenzo E. He was reared in the county in which he was born,
received his education in the common schools and academics. When he
first came to Wisconsin he worked on a farm during the summer
season, and devoted his winters to teaching school. He was occupied
in this way until 1868, when he came to Clark County and purchased
a tract of eighty acres where he now lives he cleared and improved
about twenty acres, and has a comfortable home.
August 15, 1861, when the dark war cloud of the Rebellion was
hanging over this nation, Mr. Chase enlisted as a private in
Company A, First Wisconsin Calvary, and served until January 17,
1864, when he received a gun-shot wound at Dandridge, Tennessee.
This rendered him unfit for service, and he was in the hospitals of
Knoxville, Nashville and Louisville until October 20, 1864, when he
was sent home. His wounds were of a very serious nature, being in
the neck, throat, and leg, and he is still suffering from them.
After coming from the war he resumed his place in the schoolroom,
and taught until six years ago. Among the other misfortunes with
which he has had to contend since coming to the State was the loss
of all his household goods by fire. It is indeed a brave spirit
that can withstand the perils of battle, the vicissitudes of
pioneer life, and the ravages of fire with undaunted courage.
Mr. Chase was elected Clerk of Weston Township in 1870, when it
covered about one-third of the county. He has been Clerk of York
Township since 1875, and for fifteen years has served as Justice of
the Peace. Politically he is a Republican fraternally a member of
I.O.O.F.
On August 25, 1860, he was united in marriage to Miss Eliza E.
Pickens, of Bristol, Kenosha County, Wisconsin. Mrs. Chase was born
in Erie County, New York, June 16, 1842, and is a daughter of John
and Dinah (Sherman) Pickens, natives of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts, respectively.
Mr. and Mrs. Chase are the parents
of six children: Lorenzo H., deceased Oliver P., Philander E.,
Robert I., and two who died in infancy.
