• Notes

  0AFTER A TOUR OF DUTY IN FRANCE IN WORLD WAR I, JOHN BRUCE MONTGOMERY AND LUCY ALICE MAINES MET AT FREIS, VIRGINIA. THEY BOTH WORKED AT THE COTTEN MILL THERE. THEY DATED FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR AND THEN WERE MARRIED. THEY MOVED AROUND A LOT IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. DADDY FARMED AND WORKED AT SAW MILLS WHILE MAMMA WAS A HOMEMAKER AND TOOK CARE OF THE CHILDREN. IN THE NEXT SIXTEEN YEARS THEY HAD EIGHT CHILDREN INCLUDING A SET OF TWIN BOYS. THEY WERE VERY STRICT PARENTS. THEY RAISED THEIR CHILDREN TO BE LOVING AND KIND TO EVERYONE. THE THINGS I REMEMBER ABOUT DADDY ARE THAT HE WAS A HARD WORKER AND THAT HE HAD A BIG HEART. HE HAD A KINDNESS IN HIS HEART FOR PEOPLE AND STRAY ANIMALS. HE NEVER TURNED ANYONE AWAY THAT NEEDED A PLACE TO STAY. HE LOVED ANIMALS AND GAVE EACH A NAME THAT BELONGED TO HIM. BRUCE AND LUCY HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH 33 GRANDCHILDREN AND 39 GREAT GRANDCHILDREN.
