5. Per letters from Alma Baldwin dated 14 Nov., 1978 and her daughter, Hazel Bruni dated 13 Nov., 1978:
George Edwin Montgomery owned a house in Cincinnati, Washington Co., Arkansas which Alma remembers personally. He also owned a store, but Alma couldn't remember exactly where it was. Alma's father, Marion Cook, husband of Bernethia J. Montgomery, bought the house from George. Alma and her sisters were born in this house; based on their birth dates, George must have sold the house between 1890-1897. The house was supplied with water from Rennick Creek, which was downhill from the house. Alma does not know where George and Mary moved after Mr. Cook bought the house; they may even have all lived together. The house must have been on a farm because Alma describes her mother's struggle to keep the farm going after Mr. Cook's death in 1903; her story indicates that the farm was adjacent to the house.

b. Says George Edwin was a farmer and a "wonderful man." Also says George Edwin and family were Baptists.
c. Believes the family lost everything in the Civil War and scattered as a result.
!7. In the records submitted to the Church of LDS by Wilma Hedge, the place of death is shown as Prairie Grove, Washington Co., Ark.
