George Edward Chase was born at Jamestown, Wisconsin, November 14, 1875. Died near Rimbey on December 4 1911. He leaves to mourn his loss a loving wife residing near Rimbey. His aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Chase, of Thornton, Iowa, four brothers and four sisters; Charles Melvin, of Bentley; Hiram James, of Cadogan, Kansas; Arthur, of Mason City, Iowa; Fred, of Thornton, Iowa; Mrs. Charles Brown, Thornton, Iowa.; Miss Blanche Mae, Thornton, Iowa; Mrs. J.J. Agler, Burns, Kansas.
He was united in marriage in 1906 to Mary Edmundson, of Clear Lake, Iowa. He was a young man, well-liked; he had made many friends since coming to Canada. He was noted for his jollity of manner and ready wit. He was very kind hearted and would share his last penny with anyone in need. It seems so sad to think he should have met his death in such a tragic manner. He and a neighbor went out hunting deer; had been gone one week, and both had got a deer and were coming home that evening. Mr. Chase had gone to get the team and the inquest proved that he had got the team started, with the gun standing against the spring seat, when the sled struck a stump covered with snow, and the jar must have exploded the rifle, the bullet entering the left arm in such a manner as to sever the main artery leading from the heart, causing him to bleed to death, no one being with him at the time to give the needed assistance. It is indeed a very sad thing for those so near and dear to him. May God comfort them in these most sorrowful hours.
By Mrs. Charles Chase:
Our loved one has left us to mourn;
The soul has departed, ne'er more to return.
His life went out with the setting sun;
The Bible teaches us "Gods Will be Done."
We know not why it did happen so;
No one here on earth shall ever know.
God's Help and Love is all we ask,
To help us bear this most bitter task.
