Seeking information on Charles Albert Chase who owned pharmacies in San Diego dating back to 1872. Charles was born in 1850 in NY State. Don't know how he made the trek from NY to San Diego. Charles's first wife was Cora P. Chase - maiden name possibly Pefley. Charles and Cora had the following children: Estella/Stella born 1876; Gertrude born 1878; Lewis born 1879; Harlan and Sidney (younger than the first 3 children, but birth dates unknown). Cora died in 1886. Shortly thereafter Charles Chase married my great-aunt Josephine (Steffel) Chase, who was 20 years his junior. They had 2 children: Charlotte who died in 1891 age 2 months, and Chester A. Chase who died in 1905 at the age of 16. Supposedly Chester died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Charles Albert Chase died in 1923 at the age of 73 and Josephine Steffel Chase died in 1939 at the age of 69. Charles, Cora, Chester, Charlotte and Josephine are all buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery, San Diego. Any help on this family greatly appreciated.
