Montrose Mortimer Boggess

Son of Earle Montrose Boggess & Hattie A. Gaugh

 

Montrose Mortimer Boggess was born May 7, 1888 in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri.  He was the second of nine children born to Earle Montrose Boggess and Hattie A. Gaugh. 

Just before his marriage, Montrose had been a resident of Berkeley, Alameda County, California, as he was a traveling salesman at that time.

Montrose married Nadine A. Nevius on November 11, 1912 in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri.  He was 24 years old and she was about 19 years.  Nadine was born on April 17, 1890 in Trenton, Butler County, Ohio, the daughter of Edward Stephenson Nevius and Caroline Enochs.  

On June 2, 1917, Montrose registered for the draft for World War I.  He was a salesman for a General Electric Company and was described as medium height and slender build, with brown hair and grey eyes.  Montrose and Nadine were living at 2727 Grove Street in Kansas City, Missouri.  They had two children:

            Martha Caroline Boggess       born in 1913

            Edward Boggess                      born in 1915

Montrose and Nadine divorced sometime before 1920.  By then, he was rooming with Richard Tickle, another traveling salesman, in Kansas City, Missouri, and Nadine and the children had moved back in with her parents.  Nadine remarried a short time thereafter.  She married Dr. Samuel C. Ayres on May 22, 1920 in Kansas City, Missouri.  Nadine died eight years later on March 13, 1928 in Kaw Township, Kansas City, Missouri.  She passed away from a complication resultant from inflammation of the brain.  She was buried on March 14, 1928 in Elmwood Cemetery, Kansas City, Missouri.  She was 37 years old at her death.

           

Montrose married again on December 22, 1923, to Lilly Petra Sophie Frederiksen, in Kansas City, Missouri.  Lilly was born on April 1, 1899 in Denmark, the daughter of Ignatz Frederiksen.  She gained naturalization on April 20, 1926.

Montrose and Lilly appear on a ship manifest in 1928.  They were on the ship Alaunia, which sailed from Southampton, England on August 25, to Canada, reaching the shores of Quebec on September 2. 

In 1930, Montrose and Lilly owned a home at 5009 Grand Avenue in Kansas City.  He was employed as an engineer for the electric company, and was doing fairly well, as their home was valued at $20,000.  Montrose’s two children from his first marriage were living with him at that time.

Lilly Frederickson Boggess died on January 1, 1941, after suffering from breast cancer for six years.  She and Montrose had been living at 6411 Jefferson Street, Kansas City, Missouri.  She was buried on January 3, 1941 at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Kansas City.  She was 40 years old at her death.         

Two years following the death of his second wife, Montrose married a third time.  On August 28, 1943, he married Narnie Clardy Paxton, widow of Edward N. Paxton.  They were married in Kansas City, Missouri.  Narnie was born on September 3, 1896 in Missouri.  Narnie died two and a half years later, on January 19, 1946 in the same place.  She died of a cerebral hemorrhage due to malignant hypertension.  She was laid to rest in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri on January 23, 1946.

Almost a year later, Montrose married a fourth time.  He married Vedia S. Brilhart on December 14, 1946 at the Second Presbyterian Church in Kansas City, Missouri.  Vedia was born on August 7, 1895, probably in Missouri.

In 1960, Montrose and Vedia were living at 6411 Jefferson Street in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri.  Montrose was employed as a salesman at General Electric at that time. 

Montrose Mortimer Boggess passed away at St. Joseph Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri on October 3, 1960, after suffering a heart attack at the age of 72.  He was buried three days later at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Kansas City.

Vedia S. Brilhart Boggess died in July 1978, just shy of her 83^rd birthday.  She was living at 66208 Shawnee Mission, Johnson County, Kansas at the time of her death.
