John Boyle Embree
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
October 18, 1847 - November 19, 1921
Dallas – John Boyle Embree, Polk county's oldest native son, passed away at the Dallas hospital Saturday morning following an illness of several days due to old age and other complications.
Mr. Embree was a son of two of Polk county's first settlers, Mr. and Mrs. Carey D. Embree.
He was born on the old donation land claim near Rickreall on October 17, 1847, the farm now being owned by H. Crowley and the old house which Mr. Embree built on his arrival in Oregon and the home in which Mr. Embree was born is still standing.
Mr. Embree never married and lived with his parents on the old homestead until about 30 years ago when after the death of his mother he came to Dallas to live with his father and established a home in the western part of Dallas where, with the exception of but a few years during which he lived in Harney county, he has since resided.
Mr. Embree was a character that the open frontier life produced. He was a familiar personage upon the streets of Dallas until about a year ago when old age prohibited him from getting to town often. During his younger days he was a noted fisherman and many of the expert fishermen of this vicinity owe their first training to Mr. Embree's patience. He was a lover of flowers and during the later years of his life he devoted his time to raising some of the finest specimens of dahlias ever seen in this part of the country.
Mr. Embree is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Mary Hayter and Mrs. Alice I. Dempsey, both residents of Dallas.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Frank James of the Methodist church officiating. Interment was in the old Embree cemetery near Rickreall.
