Birth record page: George W. Montgomery was borned [sic] Sept. 10th 1882. [faint writing next to the entry appears to read "__ George __". Since the next entry, for Laura Montgomery, is followed by the added notation "dau of John & Margaret Ann", it appears the notation following the George W. Montgomery entry was intended to clarify that he was the son of George W. Montgomery and Amanda, not of John & Margaret]
