Something over a week ago Uncle John Montgomery of Union came to town and engaged one of our clergy to go out to his home last Sunday and preach the funeral sermon of his son whose death we noted a few weeks ago.

The minister went out Sunday morning and found Uncle John dead. The day before he was taken with some sudden sickness and died within an hour. Mr. Montgomery was one of our old settlers, a man of energy, pleasant in manners, much liked by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed by all his neighbors.

Transcriber note: Burial in North McDonald Cemetery
