    1. CHASE Family Photographs
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" a group of photographs including four which all appear to belong to the CHASE Family of New York. The first is a photograph identified as Horace CHASE which was taken at the Wheeler Studio in Unadilla, NY. The photograph was probably taken in the 1870's or 1880's with Horace appearing to be in his teens at the time. A note on the back of the photograph notes that Horace drowned at the age of 18 and was the nephew of Deane's Grandmother. The other three photographs are not identified however, the second and third photographs are taken at the same studio in Unadilla, NY and appear to be a sister and possible father of Horace. Based on limited research I believe that Horace CHASE was the son of Hosea & Mary CHASE who were living in Hartwick, NY during the 1880 census along with Horace age 5 and another son Fred age 3 months. The census records note that they were all born in NY with Mary's parents both born in England and Hosea's parents also both born in New York. The fourth photograph is of a young girl taken at the Simpkins Studio in Walton, NY. All three photographs appear to have been taken in the 1870's or 1880's with the girls looking to be in their early teens and the man probably in his 40's. In addition to these photographs others were also recovered from the same source including photographs belonging to the TRASK, HAMILTON, HENDRICK, SLOAN, HAYNES, BURDICK, BARBER, and MASTIN families from Norwich, NY; Oneonta, NY; and Glen Falls, NY; I'm hoping to locate someone from this CHASE Family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
