Elizabeth Buffum Chace was a Quaker stationmaster on the Underground Railroad in Fall River, Massachusetts Born in 1806; she grew up on her family’s farm in Smithfield, RI. From a young age Chace learned from her father, who abhorred slavery, the importance of standing up against slavery. In the late 1830s, Chace began to work with William Lloyd Garrison and became active in the anti-slavery movement. In 1835, she and her sister founded the Fall River Anti-Slavery Society. Unlike other abolitionists, the Chace sisters supported not only freedom but equal rights for African Americans. After the Civil War, Chace continued her work for equality by getting involved with the women’s rights movement. Before her death in 1899, Elizabeth Buffum Chace passed on her passion for equality to her daughter, Lillie Chace Wyman, who became an advocate of racial equality and equal rights for women.
