William Montgomery Lane Pioneer, Dies...Old Resident of Irving Vicinity Expires from paralysis at home of daughter...William Montgomery one of the best known and most highly respected pioneers of Lane county, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.M. Martin, at 5 West Fifth St. this morning at 8 o'clock at the age of 82 years, from old age and paralysis. He had been bedfast only about a week, but an attack of his malady Sunday caused him to sink lower and lower until the end came as a relief. Mr. Martin (should read Montgomery) was born April 11, 1828 and married to Miss Matilda McHargue on April 5, 1855. To them six children were born, one son having died in infancy and a daughter was killed by a vicious cow about two years ago (note: Melinda Alice Wilson). The remaining children are as follows: Mrs. Mary Bowers of Irving; Mrs. Laura Martin of Eugene; Mrs. Ella Herron of Monroe, Benton county; and J.J. Montgomery of Wilbur, Wash.
Mr. Montgomery was a man of quiet disposition, never engaging in a lawsuit, never serving on a jury, nor taking any active part in politics, but was one of the substantial citizens who made Lane county what it is. He first settled in Linn county when coming to this state from Missouri in 1865, but in the fall of 1868 he bought a farm near Irving, on which he resided continuously until he came to Eugene three years ago to live with this daughter, Mrs. Martin, being compelled to give up the hard work of the farm on account of his advanced age.
He was a member of the M.E. church South and lived a consistent Christian life from the time he became affilliated with this church. His wife died on Feb. 24, 1901. The funeral will be held at the Martin residence Thursday forenoon at 10 o'clock and the remains will be interred in the Mulkey cemetery west of the city (Eugene)Note: William Montgomery was born in Howard County, later Chariton Co., MO son of William and Elizabeth (Millsaps) Montgomery of Macon Co., MO.
