Biography

Angus Thornwell Eugene "Colton" Chase was born January 22, 1881. ^[1]

Research Notes

His gravestone shows a birthdate of January 22, 1879; however, based on his own WWI draft card, and 3 censuses, 1881 seems to be correct. The military headstone application says 1881; it was applied for in 1951, a number of years after his passing. Weatherall-96 06:49, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
