Death of Chief Justice Chase sparks national mourning and funeral plans
The death came by a stroke at eight oclock on Tuesday. Chief Justice Chase had traveled from Washington to visit Mrs Hoyt in New York and planned a Boston and Colorado health trip. Officials and doctors aided him, but he never regained consciousness as flags lowered to half mast and obituaries flooded the press. The funeral plan called for lying in state at St George s Church with services on Saturday and subsequent interment in Washington and Ohio. Speculation swirled about his successor with Conkling and Edwards named, while Judge Wooden worked on Chase s biography under his guidance.
