According to Elsie Owens Tatman her father Craig Owens told this story about Mary E. Bear Cree Owens:
One of the Owens doctors used to come and replenish her cupboard with herbal rememdies. One of the herbal remedies that she took regularly was Slippery Elm for her digestive system.
When Mary was up in years she broke her hip or leg and they had to suspend her from the ceiling in the old farmhouse down over the hill from Pleasant Hill Church, which is currently occupied by Sina Greenwalt. Elsie remembers visiting with Sina and Sina pointed out the hooks in the ceiling that were embedded in the ceiling that were used to suspend Mary.
When Mary was going with her first husband and they had been to church a blizzard came up. When they were going home she wanted to hunker down and stay and he wouldn't let her and he kept her moving to get home. She would not have made it if it had not been for James Hamilton Cree, her first husband.
There was a barn raising and David Owens was there and he had his eye on Mary and she was engaged to the Cree. David told her that when he came back from the Gold Rush that if she was not married he was going to marry her.
When he got back she was a widow with two children and they got married.
