  Documents		Marriage- Wallace, Mary-Montgomery, Asbe At Topeka, Wednesday the 19th inst., the Rev. A. Montgomery was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary Wallace. The marriage ceremony was performed at 4 o'clock p.m. We very devoutly wish them a life as propitious as that which fell to the lot of Jacob and Rachel. Long may they live to sing: "Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love, The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above."

  Obituary- Montgomery, Asbe Obituary Gone before us, O, our father, to the spirit land vainly look we for another in thy place to stand. Asbe Montgomery was born January 3rd, 1820, in Tyler county, W. Va. He united with the church when but 18 years of age. Much of the early part of his life was spent in the western part of West Virginia and in Ohio. March 21sst, 1907, at the age of 87 years, 2 months and 21 days, he passed his devoted Christian life over into the keeping of his heavenly Father. Sixty years of his life had been devoted to working in the Lord's vineyard preaching the lovely truths of the gospel, leading men and women to Christ. We rejoice to know this noble old soldier of the cross has fought the good fight, has kept the faith and hence forth there is laid up for him a crown of everlasting happiness eternally in the heavens. Father came to Kansas 22 years ago locating first at Manhattan, Riley county. After a term of years he removed his family to Rossville where the last days of his life were spent. Father leaves children and grandchildren behind who deeply mourn their earth loss but they rejoice to know father died in the triumphs of a living faith. Blessed hope; sweet consolation that enables one when starting down the slippery banks of the Jordan of death, when the dashing waves of that remorseless river are already throwing the icy spray of its water around the soul, to look beyond the dark stream to the bright field, to the pearly gates, to the golden paved streets, and finally up to the throne of the eternal King, to lean calmly and trustingly upon that are that never wearies and place implicit confidence in Him who has said I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. Take courage dear children and hope to the end for the night will soon pass and then day will soon dawn. Then death will sadden no hearts and dim no eyes for the Lord will wipe away all tears.
