REV. E. N. MONTGOMERY
DIES AT INDEPENDENCE
Rev. Edgar Newton Montgomery, 77, a minister in the Union Baptist and United Brethren churches for 58 years, died early Wednesday morning, April 24, 1940, at his home, 400 South Fourteenth street, following an extended illness. Rev. Montgomery's condition had been critical for several days.
Edgar Newton Montgomery, son of John and Margaret Montgomery, was born September 3, 1862, at Rocky Mount, Virginia. When just a small boy he came with his parents to Kansas, locating near Eskridge. On March 1, 1883, he was united in marriage to Emma Plattz and to this union were born ten children, six of whom and the mother preceded him in death. He later married to Mrs. Addie Johnson, who passed away a few years later, and on July 20, 1909, he was married to Eva Osborn of Iola.
Converted to the Union Baptist church wile a boy, Rev. Montgomery at the age of 19 answered the call to the ministry and in 1885 he was licensed to preach and for twenty years held pastorates for the Union Baptist. In 1906 he joined the Neosho conference of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and gave 33 years to the ministry in the United Brethren churches of Kansas.
Rev. Montgomery was an able minister, a tireless worker and during his time of service supervised the building of many churches and parsonages, including the Memorial United Brethren church of this city of which he was minister for five years.
At his own request he was granted retired relations by his conference in 1938 but due to a shortage of preachers, was asked to serve the church at Sycamore that year. In October, 1939, he and Mrs. Montgomery moved to Independence, where they have since resided.
Perhaps the greatest monument to Rev. Montgomery's life, is the large group of young men who have been led to respond to the call of the ministry through his preaching. Rev. Montgomery was a friend to all and was one who had given his life to the welfare of other.
He is survived by his wife of the home; three sons, Clayton L. of Wilmar, California, Frank P. of Vallejo, California, and Robert H. of this city; one daughter, Mrs. May Anderson of Houston, Texas; one granddaughter, Mrs. Edna Hanson of Virgil, Kansas, who was reared in his home from infancy; fourteen other grandchildren and several great grandchildren.
Besides these he is survived by four brothers, Sick, Fred, and Henry, who reside in the West and Robert F., a local grocer; three sister, Mrs. Maggie Shaffer of Manchester, Kansas, Mrs. Maude Dezilbiss of Gypsum, Kansas, and Mrs. Elizabeth Baker of Coldale, Canada, and one step-daughter Mrs. Lulu Adlard of Merriam, Kansas.
Funeral services were held at 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon at the United Brethren church with Rev. C. L. Heatherington and Dr. C. V. Priddle officiating. Burial was in Mount Hope Cemetery-Independence, Kansas.
