Nellie Grace Chase was born May 5, 1872, in Illinois.
Relationship
Nellie was my 1st cousin 3 times removed as her father, Wells Morgan Chase, was the brother of my 2nd great-grandmother, Lucy Jane Chase. However, I knew her as "Aunt Nellie", since she was married to my great-granduncle William Sherman Smalley.
Memories
Aunt Nellie came out from Nebraska a few times to visit family in Oregon where I lived. I always looked forward to a visit from Aunt Nellie and have fond memories of her. One time she came to visit during the time that the sweet cherries were ripe on our trees and she so enjoyed eating them.
