Pease February 21, 1855, at Sherbrook, Canada. He came to Clearwater in the fall of 1856 and settled on a claim three miles south of the village. Six years later he moved to Minneapolis, where he worked at the millwright trade and helped build the great flour mills of that city. Here he became a member of "All Saints" Episcopal church. In 1883 he removed to the farm in Clearwater where he resided until the time of his death, which came at the good old age of eighty-one years. He and his wife celebrated their golden wedding at the old homestead in 1905. Cynthia E. Pease was born in Sherbrook November 30, 1828. In her younger days she was one of the school teachers of Sherbrook and was a member of the Episcopal church for forty-five years. Mrs. Hyatt died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. B. Davis, at Clear Lake, June 23, 1912, just two years after her husband. The children are as follows: Joseph O., Clearwater, married Melissa Taylor, of Minneapolis; Fred W., Clearwater, married Mary Bently, Clearwater; Clara M. (deceased) married Frank Wallace, Minneapolis; Eugene G. Washington married Effie Ridley, Clearwater; Hattie M., Clear Lake, married L. B. Davis (deceased). The following paragraph from an obituary will show the esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Hyatt were held: "They were highly respected and loved by everybody who came in contact with them either in a business or social way, and besides their immediate relatives were mourned by a host of true friends and sturdy pioneers during the primitive stage of early settlement."
