From  The History of Barnstable County Massachusetts published 1890

Job Chase [Jr.]  was born August 8, 1776, at the ancestral home, near which, on the west bank of the river, he subsequently reared a home, where he died January 12, 1865. The limited means for obtaining an education in his boyhood were scarcely improved when he embarked upon his business career, in which he must rely upon a retentive memory and a keen perception for his measure of success. He engaged in a fishing and mercantile business in which he attained a high point among those of the south shore, owning the controlling interest in as many as fifteen vessels at a time.

In 1831 he erected, on the river, a store which was used by him and his sons until a few years ago, and in this he kept the first post office of West Harwich. In 1842 he built the wharf which is still in use, and also built the schooner Job Chase, of eighty-five tons, from timber cut upon his own lands, lands now robbed of their trees, but where, before his time, his father, Job, had also cut the timber for vessels which he built there. Other vessels were built for his use at Hamden, Me., and at Dartmouth. In his fishing business he fitted out a large fleet.

He was largely interested in public affairs, also in affairs of the church, and in both was an important factor. He served his town as a selectman, and was a representative from Harwich in the legislature. In the erection of the West Harwich Baptist church he was a large contributor, continuing’ substantial material and spiritual aid during his life.

He was one of the original stockholders in the old Yarmouth bank, and was among the foremost in all the public enterprises of his day, giving employment to a large number of men ‘in building up the interests of West Harwich. In his death the town sustained a severe check to its growing business and a great loss in its social and religious circles.

Children

[I usually don’t continue to great grandchildren, but will make an exception here to show how dangerous fishing was in the 19th Century.  Six of Job’s first eight boys were lost at sea]

Hope’s husband Isaiah Baker was born 6 Mar 1793 in Dennis, Barnstable, Mass. His parents were Isaiah Baker (1771 – 1854) and Abigail Burgess (1773 – 1804). Hope and Isaiah had five children born between 1820 and 1837. After Hope died, Isaiah married Aug 1839 to Hannah Nickerson and had one more child. Isaiah died 4 Sep 1873 in Harwich, Barnstable, Mass

In the 1850 census, Isaiah and Hannah were farming in Harwich with five children at home.

Darius’ first wife Mary Louisa Gardner was born 20 Jul 1812 in Bolton, Worcester, Mass. Her parents were Stephen Partridge Gardner (1766 – 1841) and Achsah Moore (1774 – 1837). Darius and Mary had two children Charles (b. 1836) and Elizabeth (b. 1838). I haven’t found a divorce record, but Mary died 24 Oct 1902 in Cambridge, Middlesex, Mass.

Darius’ second wife Sarah Annie Merryman was born 15 Jan 1838 in Baltimore, Maryland. Her parents were John Buck Merryman (1814 – 1861) and Sarah Baker Ensor (1817 – 1905). Darius and Annie had two children: Lillie (b. 1859) and Darius (b. 1861) Annie died 30 Dec 1910 in Somerville, Middlesex, Mass.

Darius was an artist and a restorer of oil paintings. He worked in Boston as a restorer from 1844 and 1848. In 1851 he was living in Philadelphia. Some time during the 1850’s he moved to Charleston, South Carolina where he ran a gallery and worked as a restorer. A register of his gallery from 1857 to 1858 is included in the The Joseph Downs Collection at the Winterhur Library. The 44 page volume includes a list of people who visited the gallery and a list of artists whose works he supposedly exhibited. Also included are remarks that Chase made on the techniques of painting restoration.

Here are a few of the paintings Darius restored that are in the collection of the Massachusetts Historical Society. It looks like Darius worked for the society in the 1840’s.

John Wentworth. Born at Portsmouth, Jan. 16, 1672. Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of New Hampshire, from 1717 to 1730. Died, Dec. 12, 1730. This painting (25 x 30) was given by Sir John Wentworth, Governor of Nova Scotia, February, 1798. It was restored by Darius Chase, 1845.

Inscribed: “Given before 1838.”

This portrait was formerly identified as Governor Jonathan Belcher (1682-1757) by Franz Lippoldt, 1729, because of extensive overpainting. The painting was conserved in 1977 and the extensive overpainting that matched John Faber’s 1734 mezzotint of the 1729 portrait of Belcher by Richard Philips was removed. After the conservation treatment (and the removal of the overpainting) the circa 1760 portrait of the unidentified gentleman was revealed. (Bad Job Darius!)

17. Caleb Chase

Caleb’s wife Salome Salley Boyles was born in Apr 1839 in Maine. Salome died in Boston.

Caleb was not content with the opportunities offered in the business of his ancestors, at the age of twenty-three went to Boston, where he entered the employ of Anderson, Sargent & Co., a leading wholesale dry-goods house.

He traveled in the interests of this house on the Cape and in the West until September, 1859, when he connected himself with the grocery house of Claflin. Allison & Co., which connection was severed January 1, 1864, and soon after the firm of Carr, Chase & Raymond was formed. It 1871 the firm of Chase, Raymond & Ayer was organized, which existed until 1878, when the present firm of Chase & Sanborn commenced business. Mr. Chase is now the head of this house, than which save one other, there is no larger concern in the coffee trade in America. They have branch houses in Montreal and Chicago. He owns the homestead at West Harwich where his summer vacations are spent.

The Chase and Sanborn Hour was the umbrella title for a series of US comedy and variety radio shows,  usually airing Sundays on NBCf rom 8pm to 9pm during the years 1929 to 1948.

The series began in 1929 as The Chase and Sanborn Choral Orchestra, a half-hour musical variety show heard Sundays at 8:30pm on NBC. When Maurice Chevalier became the show’s star, he received a record-breaking salary of $5000 a week. Violinist David Rubinoff  became a regular in January 1931, introduced as “Rubinoff and His Violin.”

With Chevalier returning to Paris, Eddie Cantor was chosen as his replacement and the new 60-minute program, The Chase and Sanborn Hour, was launched September 13, 1931, teaming Cantor with Rubinoff and announcer Jimmy Wallington. The show established Cantor as a leading comedian, and his scriptwriter, David Freedman, as “the Captain of Comedy.” When Jimmy Durante stepped in as a substitute for Cantor, making his first appearance on September 10, 1933, he was so successful that he was offered his own show. Then the world’s highest paid radio star, Cantor continued as The Chase and Sanborn Hour’s headliner until November 25, 1934.

Chase and Sanborn found a gold mine with a wooden dummy when Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy began an 11-year run, starting May 9, 1937. Initially this incarnation of the program also featured as regulars master of ceremonies Don Ameche, singers Dorothy Lamour and Nelson Eddy, and (for the first few weeks) comedian W.C. Fields, accompanied by a different guest star each week. Perhaps the most infamous of the latter was Mae West, whose appearance on the program of Dec 12, 1937 was highlighted with a sexually suggestive “Adam and Eve” sketch that caused a public outcry and resulted in West being banned from the radio airwaves for many years thereafter.

Although the series ended December 26, 1948, it was followed by a compilation show on NBC, The Chase and Sanborn 100th Anniversary Show (November 15, 1964), assembled by writer Carroll Carroll and narrated by Bergen. This became an annual event with The Chase and Sanborn 101st Anniversary Show (November 14, 1965), a Fred Allen tribute, followed by The Chase and Sanborn 102nd Anniversary Show(November 13, 1966), which turned out to be the last of the series.

Chase & Sanborn Coffee is an  American   coffee  brand  created  by the coffee roasting and tea and coffee importing company of the same name, established in 1862 in Boston,Massachusetts. It claims to be the first coffee company to pack and ship roasted coffee in sealed tins.

When Standard Brands was formed in 1929, it acquired Chase & Sanborn, where it remained until 1981 when the company merged into Nabisco. Kraft Foods sold the brand to Sara Lee in 2002, and the Chase & Sanborn, Hills Bros., MJB, and Chock Full O’ Nuts brands were sold to Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group in 2006.
