Obituary- Montgomery, Angeline 2

Died
MONTGOMERY – At her home in Rossville, Kan., Feb. 28, 1887, after a long and lingering illness, Angeline Montgomery, wife of Ashe Montgomery, in the 61st year of her age.

Mrs. Montgomery was born near Athens, Ohio, January 12, 1826. Her early life was spent in that vicinity and in her 21st year she entered upon her Christian life, being immersed by Elder A. Gaston.

In 1857 she was married, and since that time has been a faithful and loving wife. We have known few women who were her equal in untiring activity. She could not be content without some object always before her to excite her thought and enlist her energies. This energy was not confined to the world, but in the church and mission she was the fame untiring worker. Uniting a large hearted generosity with her activity she was ever ready at the call of the church. Firm in the faith, warm and adhesive in her affection, quick in her sympathies and generous in all her impulses, she was a fountain of cheerfulness and joy among her friends and family. She was the strength and cheer and joy of life in the home circle and how much her loss is felt in the family none can know.

During her protracted illness which has lasted ever since she came to Rossville she has maintained a cheerful hope and trust. Rev. Howell preached her funeral to a large and attentive audience, after which she was laid away in the Rossville cemetery to await the resurrection morn.
