Chase, Arthur C. (26 May 1893 - 7 February 1973)

Arthur C. Chase, 79, of Oshkosh, a retired conservation warden, died early February 7 at the home of his son, Arthur R. Chase, in Neenah, following an apparent heart attack. Services were held Friday afternoon from an Oshkosh funeral home with the Rev. John K. Baumann, associate pastor of First Presbyterian Church officiating. Burial was made in Riverside Cemetery.

Mr. Chase was the brother of Roy and Joseph Chase, Miss Fanny Chase, Mrs. Muriel Kutchera and Mrs. Milo (Leona) Mabie, all of Neillsville, and of Clarence Chase of Cicero, Ill., Elmer Chase of Montana and Mis Ina Chase of California. In addition to his son, survivors also include three grandchildren.

Born in Saxeville on May 26, 1893, to Joseph and Dora Chase, Mr. Chase was married in Menominee, Mich., on May 11, 1918, to the former Meta Rasmussen, who died August 6, 1964. He had been a conservation warden from 1924 until his retirement in 1958. He worked for the first two years in the fisheries division and as a part-time warden, and on September 1, 1926, became a fulltime warden in Oshkosh. At a meeting of the Wisconsin Conservation club in 1953, he was presented with the Haskell Noyes award for being an outstanding warden.

Mr. Chase served with the army during World War I, and was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Cook-Fuller Post No. 70, American Legion, and of the Oshkosh Conservation Club.
