Knottsville column of the Owensboro Messenger on Saturday, 21 Dec 1901,
page 2:

  Mr. Walter Head, a prominent young farmer and a good citizen, was buried
from St. William's church a few days ago. He is from the old Head and
Montgomery families, being a cousin of Bishop Montgomery, of California. A
severe case of typhoid fever carried him away. Mr. Head leaves a wife with
one child, his mother, and several sisters and brothers.

[Walter was the son of Joseph David Head and Margaret Modesta Montgomery.
Walter's widow, Mary Jane Coomes Head, gave birth to his fifth child two
months after his death. Only one of their five children survived to
school-age--my grandfather, Joseph Owen Head. Mary Jane married second
Charles C. Mattingly in 1905 and had six more children, five of whom lived
to adulthood.]
