The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1877-06-30

Ben Montgomery, one of the most
remarkable colored men in the South,
died a few days ago. He WAS ff !,
body servant of the Hon. Joseph liz
Davis, brother of Hon. LETTERS y
Davis. Ben Montgomery was mSaL
of remarkable business ability. While
a slave he used to attend to Colohel
Davis business, and had the entire
confidence of his master. After the
war Montgomery bought the g Hurri-
canes" estate, one of the most superb
properties in Mississippi, for which
he paid 100000. This property in
cluded the I" Hurricanes and the
Briarfeld" places, the latter the
home of Hon. Jefferson Davis during
his residence in Mississippi. The
Ursina estate, on Palmyra Island, was
bought by Montgomery from Colonel
Wood of Jefferson county, Mississ-
ippi. This gave him the main owner
ship of that famous island, the only
other plantation there being owned
by the heirs of Gen. Quitman. It is
doubtful if any colored man in the
South possessed such ability as Mont
gomery. He was well know in this
city as thorough planter and an
accurate and prudent man of business.
His sons inherit the paternal estate,
and i'll some measure his business
characteristies.-N. O. Times.
