1897, February 5--Friday: Semi-Weekly Interior Journal Page 3, Stanford, KY; MONTGOMERY-The remains of Mrs. Lavinia Chenault Montgomery were brought here from Mt. Sterling and interred beside those of her husband, the late Dr. T. B. Montgomery, in Buffalo Cemetery, Tuesday. They were accompanied by her children, Misses Helen and Maud and Master Thomas Montgomery, Miss Helen Chenault, Miss Mary Miller and Messrs. Waller Chenault, of Fort Scott,Ark., and Will Miller. Mrs. Montgomery died of pneumonia after a very short illness. She was a member of the Presbyterian church from childhood and was an excellent Christian woman. The funeral services were conducted at Mt. Sterling by Elders Tibbs and Clark, of the Christian church, in the absence of the pastor. Mrs. Montgomery and her sister, Miss Helen Chenault, were engaged in a school for girls to prepare them for college and was making quite a success of it. She leaves three handsome children, now entirely orphaned, and for them great sympathy is felt. The death of Mrs. Montgomery makes the eighth of the family of 15 to cross the dark river.
