1st Lieut 2nd Cav C V
Killed at Bear River UT.
***********************
LIEUT. DARWIN CHASE, killed in a fight between Col. Connor's command and the Indians, on the 4th inst., was First Lieutenant of Company K, 2nd California Cavalry. The company was enlisted at El Dorado and Diamond Springs, of the former of which places Lieut. Chase had been a respected and influential citizen for several years. He came to this county in 1849, and remained at El Dorado until he volunteered, when his well known merits as a man and neighbor procured him the rank among his comrades in arms which he held at the time of his death, and to which his noble qualities did honor. He more than once held office in our county, and ever performed its duties with honor to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. A zealous Free Mason, he filled important offices in his Lodge and Chapter as a good man and true, and now that he sleeps his last sleep, in a nameless grave, his remembrance, not only as the brave soldier, but as the true and honest man, "the noblest work of God," will live in immortal green.
