Hmmm, a good challenge, this one.

My take is:

Manf of Segard Flag Rod

Not sure about the Segard word. *Manf* may stand for *Manufacturer*.

I just know SOMEONE on this list will solve the riddle.  And yes, what  
a nice tribute to poor old blind James Chase. Yes, makes you wish he  
was your guy to work on.

Of special interest, check out line 18 of the same page. James Chase is identified as a rigger and, at 96, the oldest inhabitant of the town and oldest freemason in the state, if not in US. Some census takers can really make your day. I rather wish I needed to research the Chase family after reading that.<br>

Thanks in advance for any help.<br>
