Ninety-four years ago there was born in Kentucky a child destined to have a remarkable career. That child was Cary D. Embree, who died at his home in the southern edge of Dallas last Tuesday. In 1844 with his wife and four children he left Howard county, Missouri, and came to Oregon, settling on the LaCreole east of Dallas. Then there were but five other families in what is now Polk county, the three Applegate brothers, John East, and Mr. Shaw, and there was not a settler between them and the California line. Their trip across the plains was full of hardship and adventure, and their pioneer days in Oregon likewise.
Father Embree had little education, but was a man of strong character. The unadulterated old Virginia and Kentucky blood in him made him a man of strictest honor and integrity. In early years he was a Baptist, but had belonged to the M.E. church, south, for many years. The first South Methodist annual conference held in Oregon was at his home, and there were held the first courts in this county. He had been a Mason since 1856, and no outsider could ever point to him as an unworthy one. Rev D.C. McFarland preached his funeral at the South Methodist church Wednesday afternoon, and he was laid away on the old home place beside the companion who preceded him some twenty years. The pallbearers were J.T. Ford, and his five grandsons, Clyde Embree, Eugene, Mark, Carey and Oscar Hayter.
His six children are all living: Dr. T.V.B. Embree, John, Mrs. Mary Hayter, and Mrs. Alice Dempsey of Dallas; Mark in Kings Valley; and Benton in Harney county.
