Notes:

1860 census names him "Andrew J. Hartley," while the genealogical info attached to his mother's Hartley Cemetery record names him as "Andrew Walker Hartley." His death certificate names him "Andrew W. Hartley."

Birth:

Other Events:

• Census: 23 Jun 1880, Eureka Springs (Main and N. Main), Carroll County, Arkansas, USA
• Census: 20 Jun 1900, Linn township, Cedar County, Missouri, USA

Notes:

Though no death certificate nor marriage record has yet been located, these circumstances render it more than likely that this is the correct Mary M. Hartley, married to John C. Montgomery.

• The Mary M. in the home of parents James Hartley and Margretta Delozier for the 1870 census was born about 1868. The Mary enumerated in 1900 as the wife of John C. Montgomery was born in March 1868
  
• Additionally the Hartley Cemetery lists her birth as 25 March 1868 and gives her maiden name as Hartley
  
• Mary Montgomery named her daughter Margaret G., probably for her mother Margretta G. (Delozier) Hartley

Died:

No Missouri death certificate has been located for Mary M. (Hartley) Montgomery. 1947 may be the wrong year, as other details in this record conflict.

Additionally the day of his death was stated as 25 December on the death cert and 26 December in the cemetery listing (same year).

I left the Hartley settlement a lad of sixteen, Sept. 1891, and have been back only once; but I'm coming back to attend some of those Hartley reunions my brother, Asa keeps writing about. I notice he always mentions the EATS and believe me Mr. Editor he's some eater/ Well I don't suppose [sic] all this interest [six] you much, so I'll stop. You might mention my new address in your valuable paper.
Fraternally yours,
Geo. W. Hartley"
