Edmond Montgomery died on Nick Jordan’s place near the county line of Schley, 
last Monday week, aged 102 years.  He was an African chief of the Askari tribe 
and was taken to Virginia from Africa about 1807, when he was a stalwart young 
man.  He had a large family in Virginia, and when he died he left his third 
wife and about twenty-five children in Georgia.  His grandchildren and great-
grandchildren are unknown and unnumbered.  He had remarkable good sight and 
health, and never took a dose of medicine in his life.  He had teeth like 
ivory, and every one in his head at time of death.
