Obit, Oxford Times Review, June 29, 1853:
At his residence in Conventry, Mary 26, 1853, Ozias Yale, Esq., in the 87th year of his age.
The subject of this notice emigrated when 26 years of age with his aged father and mother, and settled in Coventry, (then called Jones' settlement). That section of county was then a wilderness, the stillness of the forest being broken only by the scream of the Panther, the howl of the Wolf, and the more terrible whoop of the Red Man.
Mr. Yale's first wife, a most amiable and inestimable woman, bore him two sons, which were taken from him in their boyhood, and two daughters who are still living. The loss of his sons, rendered to Mr. Yale more difficult the task of clearing and improving his new farm. Oft has the writer of this heard him recount is sorrow and tears, for the loss of hf his children, and the still deeper grief for the loss of his excellent wife, who, a few years after, followed her sons to the silent grave. But he was man of determined mind, a strong body and excellent constitution and the difficulties and hardships of a new county all vanished before him the the early dew. By steady industry, economy and perseverance he worked out for himself an early competence, always providing abundantly the luxuries of good living for himself and family. Soon after the death of his wife he married Anges, eldest daughter of Rev. H. T. McGeorge, by whom he was blest with family of eight children, three sons and five daughters, most of whom with other friends, stood around his death bed "to point the parting anguish". Long will that family mourn the loss of a kind husband and affectionate father. Long too, will a large circle of friends and neighbors mourn, that a man in every sense of the word, has passed from among them. He ever evinced great fondness for reading, and could even late in life, converse fluently on matters of history and general intelligence. He was a highly respected by the community in which he resided, who elected him as early as 1803, as a Justice of the Peace, and subsequently at different times he was elected to most of the various town offices. Mr. Yale was among the few who first opened the road to the villages of Greene and Oxford, the latter at that time containing but one framed dwelling.
There is now but one man in Coventry who settled in that town as early as Mr. Yale. He always contributed cheerfully and largely to the support of the gospel, but it was not until about 20 years since, that he became hopefully to Christianity, and to use his own words "nothing but the power of God could have wrought so great and important change in his mind". Since that time he has been a regular and consistent member of the first Congregational Church, and he died as he lived, trusting in god for eternal salvation. Com.
He married second Agnes A. McGeorge. Among their children were: Thomas, Sarah Eveline, Philetus, Robert, Agnes, Margaret, Julia, and Helen Yale.
