 Mir. Bayzer was born nine miles to the east of Montgomery on the Wood ley Road. He has clear recollection of Montgomery as he saw 1t when he first came to the city as a child. He re- members getting the family mail from the Montgomery postofice. little one- story wooden building which stood on the site of the ned and the old Ex- change Hotel. He recalls. too. that the early roads of Montgomery County were fearful in winter weather. A trip from his home. nine miles in the country. to Montgomery and return, was a matter of two days. The night was spent In Montgomery. usually in camp.
