OZIAS CREE

Ozias Cree, a well respected citizen of Payette, died at his home in Payette at 
12:30 A. M., January 29, 1922, following a long continued illness and failing 
health for several years.  He was a man reserved in his way, but loved by all 
who knew him.  He was honest and upright in all his dealings which made for him 
many friends in this community, he was born in Ohio, January 15, 1851, being a 
few days past 71 years of age at the time of his death.
At the age of two years he moved with his parents to Waynesville, DeWitt 
County, Ill., and in 1870 moved to Pottawatomie County, Kansas, and on February 
3, 1876, he was united in marriage to Mary Williams his present berieved wife.  
In the year 1902 he moved with his family to Manhattan, Kansas, where the 
children might have the advantages of the college at that place.  In the year 
1912 they moved to Payette which has since been their home. 
Besides his grief stricken wife he is survived by eight children:  Mrs. A. P. 
Scritchfield of Weiser, Idaho, Mrs. P. F. Terrall of Casper, Wyo., Mrs. N. A. 
Tounsend of Eugene, Oregon, Mrs. Ida Tweedy of Rupert, Idaho, Mrs. Scott 
Brainard of Honolulu, Vernon V. Cree of Twin Falls, John Cree and Lillian Cree 
of Payette, also seven grand-children.  Of his own family there remains but one 
brother, Elwood Cree, of West Morland, Kansas.
In early life the deceased became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 
where he took an active part until recent years owing to ill health took but 
little active interest.  
Funeral services were held from the Methodist Church Sunday afternoon, 
conducted by Rev. Clyde L. Walker, pastor, where many sorrowing friends 
gathered to pay their last respects.  Interment took place in Riverside 
cemetery.
