Sidney Marsh Chase was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, near Boston, where he spent most of his life. He studied with Charles Woodbury and Edmund C. Tarbell, and at the Eric Pape School of Art in Boston, where Clifford Ashley, Henry Peck and N.C. Wyeth also were students. He spent the summer of 1901 with them in Annisquam, Massachusetts, studying under George Noyes. N.C. Wyeth and Chase developed a close friendship over the years and corresponded with regularity. Chase was not in Wilmington for Howard Pyle's fiftieth birthday party in March 1903 but arrived in town soon after. He maintained a studio in Wilmington until 1907. Although Chase did not remain in Wilmington, he retained strong ties to the area, submitting paintings to many Wilmington Society of the Fine Arts exhibitions over the years (in 1932 he won the watercolor prize). His work appeared in major magazines such as Scribner's, Harper's Monthly, Saturday Evening Post, and Collier's. |

Little information has been found about Monty Cross. He studied with Howard Pyle in 1902 and 1903 and attended the summer class held at Chadds Ford those years. He shared the middle studio at 1305 Franklin Street in Wilmington with Henry Peck and four other Pyle students. On his 50th birthday, on March 5th, 1903, Pyle presented Cross and the other students with a Howard Pyle School of Art button. According to Frank Schoonover, Cross moved to California. The Lykes correspondence indicated that Cross may have become a sign painter. |
