Jane Montgomery Casey, Part 1 John Stuekerjuergen, a historian originally from West Point, Iowa, shared this series with Columbia Magazine at the suggestion of the late, great Phil Hanna. The recent announcement of the Phil Hanna Cultural Affairs Series at Lindsey Wilson seemed to make it a good week to publish Phil's last recommendation to CM. By John Stuekerjuergen Part 1: Surviving Indian Attacks to Become Mark Twain's Great Grandmother BUT DID THE TWO EVER MEET? Jane Montgomery Casey (1761-1844) has a simple grave in the West Point Cemetery. While she was the maternal great grandmother of Samuel Clemens (later Mark Twain), she died before he became famous, and there is no documentation that they met. However, she led a very full and interesting life in her own right. Daughter of a Pioneer Family Erythusa Jane Montgomery was born in 1761 in the mountainous part of the Colony of Virginia, British North America. Her parents were William Montgomery Sr. (1727-1781) and Jane "Jean" Patterson. Jane Montgomery, our subject, had at least eight siblings. We know very little about Jane's childhood, but assume it was typical for a young girl raised on the frontier. The only specific recollection of those days seems to be that she enjoyed wearing moccasins!

Mark Twain: A Letter from Santa Claus From Doug Beard Doug says, "I was researching some information on Samuel Clemens a couple of days ago and discovered this delightful holiday letter. With Mark Twain's family roots such a part of our legacy here in Columbia/Adair County, I thought your readers might enjoy this piece created by one of our greatest writers." In 1875, Mark Twain wrote a letter to his daughter Susie, who was 3 years old at the time, which he signed "Your loving Santa Claus." Twain was very close to his daughter, all the way up to her untimely death at age 24 in 1896, and that year she had written her first letter to Santa Claus. Twain, being a writer, couldn't stand for his young daughter to feel like her work went unheard, so he decided to pen the following letter to "My Dear Susie Clemens" from "The Man in the Moon" himself: Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2025-11-28 10:37:38 | Comments | See topic Christmas Last 10 Posted Obituaries:
