Elizabeth Montgomery Dead With the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Montgomery of
Washburn Prairie Barry county loses one  of  its  old  and  most  highly
respected citizens. After long years of  suffering  the  invalid  mother
passed quietly away on Thursday evening, Oct 14, on the farm  which  had
been her home for half a century.

Elizabeth Lowery Montgomery was born 1835 in Rockingham  County,  Tenn.,
and in 1850 was married to Hugh S. Montgomery who died on the same  farm
near Washburn in 1888. Mrs. Montgomery was the mother of seven children;
Thomas H. of Oklahoma; T.L. of Washburn; Hugh S. of this city; Elizabeth
deceased (wife of G.M. Brixey); Clementine,  wife  of  Sol  Sparkman  of
Washburn, Miss Clara of Washburn and Samuel S, deceased.

Several years ago Mrs. Montgomery lost her eyesight. During her  invalid
years she has ever been the object of her children's tenderest care. Her
comfort was their first care. T.L and Miss Clara lived with their mother
and looked after her interests as if she were a child.

Mrs. Montgomery had reared and educated orphan children in  addition  to
her own family. She was a kindly and sympathetic mother and  was  dearly
beloved by all her neighbors. She had been for years  a  member  of  the
Methodist Episcopal Church South.

Funeral services were held Friday conducted by Rev E.W.  McCracken.  The
remains were laid to rest in the Washburn Prarie Cemetery.
