Zina Goldthwait CHASE, late of Cambridge, was born 09 August 1830 in 
Cambridge [Lamoille County, Vermont], son of Alden and Abigail (CHASE) CHASE. 
His educational advantages were derived from the common schools and he 
steadily followed farming as an occupation, at the same time dealing largely 
in cattle. Mr. CHASE twice enlisted in the ranks of his country's defenders 
and in his first attempt was advanced to the grade of orderly sergeant of 
Company H, Second Regiment Vermont Volunteers, but unfortunately he was 
mustered out for disability. After holding many minor positions of trust in 
the town, he was elected by a strong Republican majority to the state 
Legislature in the fall of 1886, which position he filled with credit to 
himself and satisfaction to his constituents. He was a member of the Masonic 
order. On 02 August 1856 he [Zina Goldthwait CHASE] was united in marriage 
to Jane H., daughter of Samuel and Hannah MONTAGUE. One child, Hollis M. 
CHASE, blessed their union.
