Mrs. Houser was known to a large circle of friends, having with her husband homesteaded the land on which the John Harris home is located on Highwood creek. She visited Fort Benton many times during the last years and had planned on coming this week to make her home with here daughter here for a time. The Great Falls Tribune Gives the Following Information: Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Houser, a pioneer resident of Montana and mother of Mrs. James Townsend, died at the home of her daughter Saturday afternoon at 3:30. Mrs. House had been ill for the last three years but her condition had not been considered grave until Saturday morning. Death was due to dilation of the heart. Born at Mexico, Missouri, Jan. 18, 1845, Mrs. Houser, then Mary Elizabeth Price, crossed the plains with her father, Cyrus Price, and her two brothers at the outbreak of the Civil war in 1861. They located at Austin, Nev., and one year later, 1862, she was married to James F. Berry. In 1864 Mr. and Mrs. Berry joined the gold rush to Virginia City, remaining there until 1867 when they returned to Mexico, Mo. Mr. Berry died there in 1877. Three years later Mrs. Berry and her children again started westward, coming up the Missouri river on the famous old steamer Red Cloud to Fort Benton only a short time before going to the Highwoods where they lived for five years. Following Mrs. Berry's marriage to C. B. Houser of Butte in 1885, the family moved to that city. In 1898 Mrs. Houser moved to Kalispell where she made her home for 20 years coming to Great Falls four years ago following the death of her son, John R. Berry, at the Soldiers' home. Since coming here she had lived with her daughter, Mrs. Townsend. Although the wagon train in which Mrs. Houser crossed the plains was fired upon two or three times by the Indians, no serious attacks were encountered. When coming up the river on the steamboat Red Cloud, they ran into several herds of buffalo, which formed part of the great northwestern herd which disappeared the winter of 1882-83. One of the passengers on the boat was the son of Sitting Bull. Mrs. Houser was the mother of six children, only two of whom survive, Mrs. Townsend of Great Falls and Mrs. John Harris, Fort Benton. There were five girls and one son. The late C. W. Price of Fort Benton was a brother of Mrs. Houser. The body will be forwarded to Fort Benton Monday morning where funeral services will be held at the home of Mrs. John Harris at 2, the Rev. W. G. Jinnett, pastor of the Methodist church there, officiating. Interment will be made in the Fort Benton cemetery beside the grave of her father, Cyrus Price. The relatives have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.
