History of Anoka County
And the Towns of Champlin and Dayton
In Hennepin County, Minnesota
by Albert M. Goodrich
pub. 1905 - Hennepin Publishing Co., Minneapolis

                ROE GIDDINGS CHASE was born at Anoka, Jan. 16, 1878, where
              he attended the high school. He entered the University of
              Minnesota in the spring of 1897, graduating with the class
              of 1901. After leaving college Mr. CHASE devoted himself to
              illustrating for newpapers and magazines, his work taking
              him into nearly every state in the Union in the search for
              articles and pictures of interest. After a year spent in
              this work his ambitions outran his physical strength and his
              sight began to fail. He was compelled to give up this line of
              work and recuperate among the trout streams and the deer licks
              of the far west. Returning to Anoka in 1902, he purchased the
              Anoka Herald, and has since edited the paper. Personally Mr.
              CHASE is fond of outdoor sports - fishing, hunting and yacht-
              ing. He owns a fine summer cottage at Lake George, where he
              spends the summer. His sail boat is the largest and fastest
              on the lake, and has frequently vanquished the lesser craft
              in sailing matches. He is an active member of the Methodist
              church and a member of fraternal lodges, notably the Knights
              of Pythias and the Masons.
