The family, lived in a half-dugout in the Edwardsville community.Three additional children were born to the Montgomerys: Lucy, Mrs. Parven Hickey of Cheyenne, Oklahoma; Alice, Mrs. John Marcum of Sayre, Oklahoma; and Joe Montgomery of Visalia, California.They were buried side-by-side in Edwardsville, Oklahoma, and when the Foss Dam was constructed, the Edwardsville cemetery was relocated to the cemetery in Canute, Oklahoma.
