death: before 1817Richard Ozment, born in North Carolina, of German lineage, came to Missouri in 1839, locating in section 23, Madison township, Jasper county, and immediately began the arduous task of converting the raw prairie land into a productive farm, having been one of the first to take up Government land in this part of the state. In 1849 he made a brave endeavor to win some of California's hidden wealth, and after traveling across the plains for five months with ox teams he arrived on the Pacific coast. He there mined for gold eighteen months, but not meeting with satisfactory returns for his labors with pick and shovel, returned home by way of the Isthmus and subsequently lived on his homestead until his death, at the age of three score years. He was a Jacksonian Democrat in politics and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His wife, whose maiden name was Lydia Millis, survived him, passing away at the age of eighty-two.
