to the great man, who has done so
much for Gainesville and this section of
Georgia.
Captain Montgomery was sixty-nine
years of age, and is survived by his
wife, and three sons, -Messrs. Victor,
Walter and Ben Montgomery. He was
a gallant Confederate soldier in the war
between the states, and, enlisting as a
private, soon was promoted to a cap
taincy, and commanded a company in
the 18th South Carolina Regiment. At
the close of the war, like most South
erners, he found himself without means,
but setting to work with that determi
nation and indomitable perseverance
which wins success, he soon amassed a
fortune, and at the time of his death
was president of the Spartan Mills
Company, the Pacolet Manufacturing
Company and the Gainesville Cotton
Mills, cprporations whose capital rep
resen ced seven million dollars, and
drawing a salary which amounted in
the neighborhood of $40,000 per an-

Captain John H. Montgomery fell ov
er some staging in a warehouse at the
Pacolet mill at New Holland last Fri
day mornipg at 9:30 o’clock, a distance
of between sixteen and eighteen feet,
and sustained injuries from which he
died at 6 o’clock that evening. He was,
at the time of the accident, inspecting
a warfehouso with Mr. Stallworth, of
the mill, the latter walking in front of
Captain Montgomery. He heard a
crash and turning around saw Captain
Montgomery shooting through the air
to the floor beneath. Mr. Stallworth
instantly gave the alarm and in short
time help arrived, and Captain Mont
gomery was removed to Mr. Stall-
worth’s room where he remained until
lie died. Dr. Downey at once made a
hurried examination and saw that Cap
tain Montgomery was badly hurt. Drs.
Ham, Rubolph and Smith of this city,

Holland, and the Gainesville Cotton
mill in this city. He was authority on
cotton manufacturing, and bis judg
ment was supreme on matters pertain
ing to cotton manufacturing in the
South. He was a great organizer and
developer, and had millions at his com
mand. Those with whom he dealt had
implicit confidence in his ability and
judgment, and time demonstrated that
this confidence was not misplaced.
Captain Montgomery found time from
his arduous duties to devote his talents
to the cause of education, and he ever
remembered his vows to his church, be
ing a member of the Baptist denomina
tion. He was constantly engaged in
some act of charity and helping some
one in distress. At Gaffney, S. 0., he
founded and endowed the Limestone
college, a noble institution for the edu
cation of young women.
The funeral at Spartanburg last Sun
day afternoon at 3 o’clock was one of
the largest ever witnessed in South
Carolina. People from every walk in
life assembled to testify their love and
respect for him,

The principal fnneral

made by Captain Montgomery’s pastor,
Dr. Roper, Dr. Lodge, president of
Limestone College, Dr. Wynne, pastor
of the Frst Baptist church of Gaines

people were present, and the floral
offerings were many and beautiful.

members of the club were present,
and several unique games were
played. In an original guessing
contest Mias Georgia Dixon won
first prize. Miss Me Connell’s en
tertainment of her guests was par
ticularly delightful, and her gen
uine success as a hostess can in
part be attributed to the charm
ingly unique and original manner
in which her guests are always en
tertained.
Captain’s old family physician of Spar
tanburg, were wired to come at once.
The two last named reached the strick
en man about three o’clock, but the
other physicians had already given up
hope, and it was but, the work of a mo
ment for them also to see that all
earthly, aid could not save the great
"man.
Captain Montgomery’s skull was bro
ken by the fall and he never regained
consciousness. Mr. Victor M. Montgom
ery was telegraphed immediately after
the accident at Spartanburg, and he
arrived with his wife and two brothers,
Messrs Walter and Ben, on the after
noon train. They were, therefore,
with their father when he died.
The remains were kept here until the
10:35 o’clock a. m. train Saturday, when
they were shipped to Spartanburg. Be
fore removing the body to the depot
the casket was opened by undertaker
Dorsey, at the request of Mr. V. M.
Montgomery, and all the mill hands
who desired to do so were allowed to
take a last look at their great chief
tain. The scene was a most solemn and
sorrowing one. The mill was shut
down and everything seemed bowed in
grief at the great calamity thau had
so suddenly befallen the community.
Two large and handsome floral
wreaths, one presented by Mr. Stall-
worth, and the other* by Messrs M. L.
S inith, Walter Ham and Hartman
Grigg, were laid upon the casket at the
station. Dr. Downey, Capt. M. G.
Stone, Mr. M. L. Smith, Mr. Stallworth
and several others from the mill colo
ny accompanied the body to Spartan-
