Rev. Kyle Nagel, pastor of the Methodist Church, will officiate. Burial will be in the Masonic Cemetery. Mr. Montgomery, who moved here and retired in 1956, had had heart disease for several years. Born Jan 18, 1885, at Brownsville, Tennessee, he was the son of J. D. and Elizabeth Montgomery. J. D. Montgomery was a captain in the Confederacy. Head Montgomery came to Texas in 1905 and in 1911 married Miss Leona Insall here. From time to time since then they had lived here, but his work as a construction contractor made it necessary for them to live various other places. He was the contractor on the last major railroad line put down in Texas, and in 1920,in partnership with his brother, W. T. Montgomery, put down the first concrete road in Texas from San Benito to Brownsville, in 1920. From 1932 to 1945 he was employed by Brown & Root co., as general superintendent of the East Texas area and later as superintendent of paving. Mr. Montgomery received two war department decorations for outstanding construction work during World War II. In 1942 he was awarded the Army-Navy E and in 1943 he received the Order of Meritorious Civilian Service, highest civilian award given by the Navy. Surviving in addition to his wife are a son, Jack Montgomery, and 2 grandchildren, Nancy Anne and John William Montgomery, all of Weimar; and his brother, W. T. Montgomery of San Antonio.
