John Day (J. D.) Chace (1829-1890) was a native of New York. According to Elliott, he came to Santa Cruz around 1865. In 1866 he was co-proprietor of the Washington Market (primarily selling meat) on Pacific Avenue, as seen in theSentinel ad at right. The market was acquired in 1862 by A. L. Rountree, and ads listing Chase as a partner appeared in 1866. By 1878, ads listed Chace as sole proprietor.
Also in 1866, Chace was listed as one of the "Managers" for a Thanksgiving Ball at the new Pacific Ocean House hotel, along with many other downtown notables. Daughter Jennie Gertrude has a separate bio in Harrison.
Chace served four one-year terms as mayor of Santa Cruz, from 1880 to 1884.

The 1889 Hatch Map showed him as owner of a sizable parcel just outside (west of) the Santa Cruz "corporation line", formerly part of the Eli Moore ranch. Son John R. Chace became an investor in streetcar lines (see Surf, Sand & Streetcars). Daughter Minnie married Frederick Otto Hihn, a son of F. A. Hihn.
