Mr. & Mrs. Chas. JACKSON and Marion ERNSPERGER went to South Bend today to attend the funeral of John ERNSPERGER, an uncle of Mrs. Jackson and Mr. Ernsperger who died at that place Saturday at the age of ninety years.
At three o'clock Saturday afternoon the disease which preyed on Commodore [W.] MONTGOMERY for a week, reached a climax in death to the afflicted. A postmortem examination revealed the fact that his disease was peritonitis in a form that was fatal from the beginning and no treatment or medical skill could have saved him.
Commodore W. Montgomery, son of Theodore and Margaret MONTGOMERY, was born in this county, December 11, 1854, and was therefore 49 years and 3 months old. He was united in marriage with Alla M. SHOUP in June 1877 and to them five children were born and they were a very happy and prosperous family on their farm one mile north-west of the city. Besides his immediate family he leaves his aged father and mother, and three brothers, viz: Frank, Fitch and Lee [MONTGOMERY].
"Com" Montgomery, as he was widely and familiarly known, was one of the foremost farmers in the county. He was active in the Grange, a director for several years in the Agricultural and Fair society, secretary of the Fulton County Anti Horse Thief society, Vice-president of the Farmers Mutual Insurance co., and always prominent in Farmers' Institute work. He was also quite active in educational work, having been a teacher for seven years when a young man. He was a close student of topics of the day and a man of progressive principles and a leader in all movements which had for their purpose the elevation and promotion of farming and its attendant conveniences of good roads, telephones, rural mail, etc., etc.
The funeral was conducted at the residence at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Rev. George A. HILL officiating. A large concourse of people attended and the remains were laid to rest in Odd Fellows cemetery.
