Below, is supposedly how Montgomery County got its name :) Source: Crawfordsville Review, July 4, 1916 p 5 It might be well for us as citizens of Montgomery County in
connection with the splendid celebration held in honor of our
state’s centennial, to stop for a moment and consider from whence
it received its name. Montgomery County was so named in honor
of the brave and gallant young Irish General Richard Montgomery
who fell mortally wounded at the head of his troops while leading
a charge against the fortress of Quebec and bravely fighting
for American Independence. Just before making the charge he
turned to his soldiers and said, “I am going to act so as you’ll
never be ashamed of me, Soldiers you’ll not be afraid to follow
where our commander leads.” The following tribute to General
Montgomery and to Montgomery County was written by Mrs. Sadie
Murphy for Wanita Bratton of the Smartsburg HS who read the
same at the school centennial at that place. Note: There has been a group of folks who have found (can you believe this?) 500 towns to date (5-1-2018 ) - click on towns on the left column to read about not only those above but many, many more.Thanks so much to Suzie & Jerry for the majority of them -- It's truly amazing!

Poem I found by happenstance and just could see a little fellar writing this when he got another "used & used & used" pair of pants :) LOVE THIS LITTLE DIDDY :) Source: Weekly Argus News Aug 21, 1897 p 3 The small boy, who is a close observer, gives the family history of papa’s pants as follows: When dad has worn his trousers out, they pass to brother John Then mother trims them round about and William puts them on. When William’s legs too long have grown, the trousers fall to hide ‘em So Walter claims them for his own and stows himself inside ‘em. Next Sam’s fat legs close invest and when they won’t stretch tighter, They’re turned and shortened, washed and pressed and fixed on me – the writer. Ma works them into rugs and caps when I have bust the stitches At Doomday we shall see (perhaps) the last of dad’s old breaches. =========== Poem I wrote many years ago -- please give me credit if you nab it :) Karen Bazzani Zach FAMILY TREE CLIMBING Family Tree Climbing is lots of fun one of my few poems :) written by
