Query:
MONTGOMERY, Jane - any information if she died in CO? She was the mother of Esther HOWELL and they lived in Ft. Morgan around 1906-1907 and perhaps Jane was with them and died in Colorado. Jane was born in England in 1830 and came to U.S. with her family around 1880. She may have died in CO or Nebraska and so far I have not found anything about her.
