Chase, Mary

Chase, Mary, a minister of the Society of Friends, and wife of Abijah Chase, was reared in the Protestant Episcopal Church, but abandoned it at the age of nineteen to join the Quakers, and soon after became a preacher among them. Her favorite theme was the fulness and freeness of salvation. She died at Salem, Mass., April 26, 1861, aged eighty-seven years. For several years previous she had been an invalid. See Amer. Annual Monitor, 1862, p. 20.
