Relatives had found the house locked and an entrance was made through a window. At first there were suspicions of foul play, but these did not appear to be justified by anything subsequently learned. Dr. D. R. Warehime, Coroner, who was summoned to the scene said that she had died of a heart condition.

Mrs. Montgomery was a Caldwell before her marriage--the last survivor of her generation of the family. She is survived by these children; James, Brady, Leslie, John, Mrs. Emma Lane [sic] and Mrs. Laura Lambert, all of Bladen; Anna Montgomery, Columbus; William, a soldier in Alaska; Paul, a soldier in South Africa.

Montgomery, Thomas J. L.

Thomas J. L. Montgomery

Thomas J. L. Montgomery, son of Thomas and Tacey (Swindler) Montgomery, was born October 28, 1835, and was called to his reward, September 1, 1928, aged 92 years, 10 months and three days, having lived his entire life in Guyan township.

On August 27, 1857 he was united in marriage to Lucretia Haskins, and to this union 11 children were born. Three of these died in infancy, and James P. died three years ago. Those still living are: Mrs. David S. Dailey, John H., Tacey E. Cupp, Elza J., William M., Mrs. H. A. Day, and Mrs. Bart Miller. Besides the children he is survived by 37 grand-children and 52 great-grand-children.

His companion departed this life March 14, 1875, to whose memory he has been true for 53 years. After her death, the care of this large family devolved upon him, and he proved himself both a father and mother to them in ministering to them and imparting good counsel.

He was converted when 19 years of age, and lived a quiet, unassuming Christian life for almost 75 years. In 1923 he was baptized by Rev. Earl Cremeens and joined the Good Hope Baptist church.

Mr. Montgomery was one of the stalwart pioneer farmers of Guyan township and knew the hardships incident to the lives of our early settlers. He was a staunch and noble citizen, and one who always advocated and upheld the right and condemned the wrong.

He bore his afflictions and last illness with the fortitude and quiet patience which characterizes the life of a Christian character. He will be sadly missed by a host of relatives and friends, and especially by Mrs. Bart Miller, with whom he made his home in his declining years, and who ministered to his comfort with a love and patience which only God can reward, and who may now hold as her most sacred memory of her father, the tender, loving care which she gave to him.
