Mr Ferree's business career was characterized by energy, industry and a careful attention to details which insured success. In his social relations he was ** and considerate, an exemplary neighbor and a worthy citizen. He was faithful in attendance at the services of the church he loved and contributed generously to its support. A good man has gone but the beneficient influences of his unassuming, earnest, upright life remain.
His wife, daughter,, Mrs Earl Hart, brother, C M Ferree,, sister, Mrs Ella Lewis of Gold Bar, Washington; and half sister, Miss Eva Ferree, of Salem, Oregon, survive him.
