| Text | Another excellent woman has been called from earth to a heavenly reward for a well spent life. She did nothing but good. It was her ambition, seemingly, to implant goodness in every character that she came in contact with. She was never known to speak a cross word to any one, exhibiting a lovely disposition, that very few are blessed with. Mrs. Elizabeth J. Montgomery was born in Ray County, Tenn., and came to Barry County, with her parents in 1842. She grew to womanhood on Shoal Creek in Liberty Township and has been a continuous citizen of Barry County, for 78 years. She professed faith in Christ at an early age and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Concord, in which she continued faithful and loyal to the day of her death. She left two brothers, Capt. James Montgomery of Okmulgee, Okla., Robert Montgomery and one sister Miss Dicey Montgomery of Liberty township. The Montgomery family is one of the old and highly esteemed families of Barry county and the many acquaintances will regret the removal of another link of the chain of life. She died Feb. 19, 1920 and the remains were interred in Concord Cemetery, on the 20th, after funeral services conducted by Rev. J. P. Campbell of Fayetteville, Ark. Her brother Capt. James Montgomery and his son Finis of Okmulgee, Okla., and Harris Montgomery of Joplin and many relatives and friends attended her funeral. |
