• Notes

  !Source: Family Group Records for Marion Cook and Bernethia J. Montgomery and for George Edwin Montgomery and Mary Jane Buck obtained from Hazel Bruni. 1978 letters from Alma Cook Baldwin and Hazel Bruni. Tape-recorded conversation with J.Howard Montgomery 9 Apr 1966. Church: Methodist Per letters of Alma Cook Baldwin: After the death of Marion Cook in 1903, Bernethia tried to operate their farm alone. She left her young daughters (ages 5,3,2) alone in the house while she went out to work in the fields. She used the bedposts to hold the girls by their long skirt tails and would check on them on each "round." She also did quilting for people at night. In about 1905, two of Bernethia's brothers, believed to be Joseph C. and George W., came and moved her to Texas with them. On the way they visited another brother, Morgan, who was quite ill. They moved to a rented house at Whitney, Texas near Itasca. George lived near Itasca and Joe was at Brandon, about 9 miles east of Itasca. In 1906, Bernethia married Sam R. Viney. Hazel says that Bernethia was living with various relatives when she (Hazel) was growing up. When Hazel was about 5 (1923), Bernethia lived with them, and she said she listened to many stories told by Bernethia including many family stories. Place of birth from records submitted by M.L. Clason.
