The obituary for Elizabeth (Tintsman) Chance b. 1815 is located in the "Sauk Centre
Herald and Melrose Record" published on September 17, 1885, page 3, column 3. She
died at the residence of her daughter Mrs. J.E. Valentine in Sauk Centre, Stearns Co.,
Minnesota. The obituary states she was born in Pennsylvania and moved to Ohio at a young
age. She married Thomas Chance in Ohio in 1834. The couple moved to Olmstead Co.,
Minnesota in 1855 and then moved to Indiana five years later. The couple them returned to
Minnesota in 1865 and settled near Villard, Minnesota where Thomas died three years later.
In 1870, Elizabeth moved to Sauk Centre, MN. She was the mother of twelve children, seven
of whom survived her. Four were present when she died. Hopefully this will provide some
information if you haven't seen the article.
