Mrs. Montgomery Dies.

At home on College street last Friday evening death claimed Mrs. Bertha Montgomery, wife of D. Mac Montgomery, a mother much needed by her family of five daughters, the eldest being about fourteen years of age and the youngest being born a few hours before the demise of the mother. Funeral services were held in the Methodist chruch at Addison Sunday at 11 o'clock and interment made in Frankford cemetery. Rev. W. N. Vernon conducted the services.
Bertha Loue Campbell was born in Meigs County Tenn., October 31, 1886. Her parents who are yet living came to Texas in 1897 and she, a girl 11 years of age, accompanied them to the new home. In 1908 she was united in marriage with Horace K. French and to this union was born a daughter and a son. On August 11, 1915, she was married to D. Montgomery and to them were born five children, all girls and they and their father are left to mourn the untimely calling of their family center, the one around whom all home activities must gravitate. Besides these there are the aged father and mother, one brother and five sisters.
In early life this good lady united with the M. E. South, and has lived a life in keeping with the precepts of Him whom she took as her guide. She was a ever a good and dutiful daughter, a loving and devoted wife and mother. To this sorrowing family the heartfelt sympathy of the community goes out in unstinted measure and their prayer is that He that watches over all, and even is interested in the sparrows, may give too them a generous share of His watchful care that they may be spared some of the sorrows as usually following such a loss as they have been called upon to undergo.
