Andrew Lyford Chase was born in Atkison, Maine on November 26, 1859. At the age of twenty-one, Chase entered Bucksport Seminary, and then proceeded to enroll at Boston University. He studied and preached until his graduation in 1891. He briefly went to Montrose, Colorado to pastor the Congregational Church, but before his first year expired, the newly ordained Rev. Chase returned to Maine. He was the pastor of the Congregational Church at Foxcroft. In 1896, Chase he assumed responsibility for the two Congregational churches in Eliot and York, Maine. However, the demands of leading two congregations proved to be very demanding. In 1900, he resigned his positions, and moved to the North Congregational Church in Sanford, Maine. He died one year later, having never fully recovered his health.
