I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the CHASE Family. The first
is a photograph of Dorman CHASE taken in Dec 1915 when he was 2 1/2 years
old. The photograph includes a Christmas greeting on the back that is signed
by Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth CHASE. The second photograph is one of Ida Clara CHASE
(age 4 years) and Ray Lester CHASE (age 2 years) which was taken in 1908.
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information
regarding those in the photographs:
Dorman Kenneth CHASE was b. 30 May 1913 in Newberg, OR to parents Kenneth
Roy CHASE (1890-1978) and Josephine May RICH (1895-1979). Dorman had one
sibling, a sister Doris May CHASE BRIGGS (1914-1981). Dorman married Pearl
Eleanor or Elinor TILTON (1916-2008) and they had three children including a
son, Henry "Hank" Asa CHASE (1940-2010); son Tom CHASE; and daughter Connie
CHASE COX. Dorman died 24 Mar 1997 in Marion Co., OR and he is buried in
the Sears Cemetery in Cottage Grove, OR.
Ida Clara CHASE was b. 6 Jan 1904 in Blakesburg, IA to parents Gilbert
Calvin CHASE (b. 1875 in Postville, IA-1932) and Wena W. WOOD (b. 1881
Monticello, IA-1961). Ray Lester CHASE was b. 28 Jan 1906 in Blakesburg, IA
to parents Gilbert Calvin CHASE (1875-1932) and Wena WOOD (1881-1961). Ray
had two siblings, his sister Ida and a brother Irving Calvin CHASE
(1914-1991). Ray married Effie H. PHIPPS (1909-1987). Ray died 5 Jun 1983
in Hillsboro, OR and is buried in the Willamette National Cemetery in
Portland, OR.
