Ozi Curtis Huntington married Nancy Jane Jackson on May 20, 1849 in Brown County, Indiana. I am unaware of any children born to them. Nancy died between June 13, 1860-1861.

Ozi then married Mrs. Harriet E. Galloway Strong on Sept. 20, 1861 in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon. They had a son, Cory Ozi Huntington.

Ozi, or O.C. as he was sometimes called, had various occupations. First a farmer, as were so many. Then in 1860 he is listed as a Minister of the M.E. Church.

On December 12, 1868 he is listed as Superintendant of the Territorial Insane Asylum, which at this date as 16 patients and is "very much crowded." His wife assisted him, as acting Matron of the Asylum. His father had begun the Asylum on the family's Donation Land Claim.

In 1870 he is, once again...or still, listed as a Minister of the M.E. Church. By 1880 he is a widower and his occupation is listed as "laborer". The 1900 Census shows him in Pe Ell Precinct of Lewis County, Washington working as a salesman.

Ozi died sometime between when the 1900 and 1910 Censuses were enumerated...possibly in Lewis County, Washington.
