Edward Feak was born in South Worchester, Otsego County, New York on July 23, 1828, and parted from us January 20, 1896, aged 75 years, 5 months and 28 days. He was converted and united with the Methodist - Episcopal Church when a child.

In 1843 he was married to Mary Ann Hilyer and moved to Wisconsin in 1845, living there 25 years. He moved to Iowa [Wright county] and from there to Hood River valley 10 years ago, where he lived until called to his reward. This strong, active man was a good steward in the church. A lover of camp meeting. His home has always been the preachers home. It is anyone wonder that his children and grandchildren are all Christians and that his two sons are preaching the gospel, which he so loved. His last days were triumph, among his last words "Jesus and glory." he leaves an aged wife, two sons and 5 daughters. One son preceded him to glory. His remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of relatives and friends. After a sermon by the writer of John xiv,2.
