Some names that may be of interest to someone on your list that were found in the book I have on Waterbury and The Naugatuck Valley, CT... Isidore Chase - also spelled Isadore Chase on some pages - one of the first officers of the Waterbury Merchant's Association, formed May 20, 1897 who is listed as a charter member for "millinery" Frederick S. Chase - lived on Grove St, Waterbury, CT ; also on the Board of Directors for the Boys Club, one of the directors of the Waterbury Business Men's Association in 1913. Irving Hall Chase - Senator to State Legislature 1893 - 1917 from Waterbury, CT - also listed as a director of the Smith & Griggs Manufacturing Co in 1917. His wife's brother was Captain Frank W. Kellogg. I guess that makes her maiden name Kellogg if that helps anyone find a connection. H.S. Chase - President of Waterbury National Bank in 1916 & many other mentions in the book; also one of the directors of the Smith & Griggs Manufacturing Company in 1917. (Henry S. Chase, son of Augustus S. Chase) Irving S. Chase - Director of Waterbury National Bank in 1916 and many other mentions in the book Augustus S. Chase - became President of the first newspaper, the Waterbury American in or around 1893. H.S. Chase was also a stockholder and also treasurer and manager in 1893.; director of Waterbury Savings Bank in 1892. Also owned the A.S. Chase Co. , also listed as President of The Smith & Griggs Manufacturing Company in 1894. Mentions A.S. Chase died in Paris on June 7, 1896 and was succeeded in the office by his son, Henry S. Chase. Helen E. Chase - 1911 - "In this year Miss Helen E. Chase gave the old Waterbury hospital buildings and grounds as an addition to Chase Park, in memory of her mother, Martha Starkweather Chase." I think this Park was established in 1905 by Mrs. A.(Augustus) S. Chase as a memorial to her husband and to be used as a park... Hope this helps someone...if there is a connection for any of you, please email me and I'll add the other information I find on these names. They are mentioned many times in connection with several industries and endeavors. Regards, Robin Mullaney-Connecticut robinmullaney@snet.net
