W. H. Montgomery, the oldest settler of Wright county, died at his home in Goldfield. Mr. Montgomery and his wife settled on the farm on which he died in 1854. At that time their nearest market was Cedar Falls, a distance of 80 miles, and the nearest post office was 30 miles away. Mr. Montgomery was buried Friday, hundreds of friends from all over the county attended the services.

Transcriber’s Note: Find-a-Grave indicates he is buried in Glenwood Cemetery. He was born in 1832 and died October 12, 1905.
