FLAVIUS E. PEASE,
residing one-half mile north of Calispell, Stevens county, is
successfully engaged in general farming and stock raising.
He was born in Dunn county, Wisconsin, Aug. 17, 1869, the son of
Flavius E. and Mary A. (Crake) Pease, natives of Ohio.
Shortly after their marriage they settled in Iowa, and following
a residence of three years, they returned to Ohio, and thence to
Wisconsin, where, in 1901, they decided to come farther west,
and, accordingly, came to Stevens county. Here they reside
the parents of nine children, namely, Ora, Albert, Frank,
Ruth, Delia, Margaret, Elvira, Walter and Flavius.
The elementary education of our
subject was secured in the town of Lucas, Wisconsin, and at the
age of sixteen he learned the trade of a printer, and later went
to Desmet, South Dakota, where he was employed on a stock farm.
Following one year passed in this occupation he went to Spokane,
Washington, in 1886, where he was employed on a stock farm for a
Mr. Breckel of Peone prairie. In this business he
continued until 1890, when he removed to Stevens county, and
engaged in farming and stock-breeding, which he has followed
since. In 1894 he removed to his present location.
He at present owns four hundred and eighty acres, mainly timber
land.
In 1897 Mr. Pease was married to Bertha
L. Keller, daughter of Henry and Margaret (Happer) Keler,
the mother a native of Illinois, the father of New York. Mrs.
Pease has one brother and one sister, Roy H. and
Nina May. Our subject and his wife have one child, Robert
Henry. Mrs. Pease is a member of the United Brethren
church. She has been a teacher in Stevens and Spokane counties
for several years.
Politically our subject is a Republican, and staunch
and true to the interests of his party.
