"Judge John Mitchell Dies On Mexico Vacation"...SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE Vol XC, San Augustine, Texas Thursday July 15, 1999 (page 1)
State District Judge John W. Mitchell, who grew up in the shadow of County Courthouse and the State Capitol, died in a swimming accident Tuesday afternoon while vacationing on the West Coast of Mexico.
Judge Mitchell, of San Augustine, the sitting Judge of the 273rd District Court, which serves San Augustine, Sabine and Shelby Counties, and his family were vacationing at a popular Mexico West Coast resort when the accident occurred. They were accompanied by two friends of their teen-age children.
Funeral arrangements are pending at the Wyman Roberts Funeral Home in San Augustine. It was not known at mid-day Wednesday when his body would be released from Mexico.
Judge Mitchell's brother, District Attorney Charles Mitchell, and Mrs. Mitchell, were enroute to Dallas DFW Airport Wednesday afternoon to meet Judge Mitchell's family, who were flying home and were returning to San Augustine Wednesday night.
Funeral plans will be announced from Wyman Roberts Funeral Home.
Judge Mitchell was born into a family of jurists and statesmen. His grandfather, Judge W. C. Ramsey was County Judge and District Judge. His uncle, and former law partner Gov. Ben Ramsey was Lieutenant Governor of the State longer than any other man at that time, and served as State Representative, State Senator and Railroad Commissioner in a career covering nearly 50 years.
Judge Mitchell was a graduate of San Augustine High School (Note: he was Valedictorian in 1965), graduate of the University of Texas School of Law (1972), practiced law with his uncles, Ben Ramsey and C.S. Ramsey, succeeded his uncle C.S. Ramsey as San Augustine City Attorney, was appointed and later elected County Attorney; was appointed to the State District Judgeship 273rd District to succeed Judge J.L. Smith of San Augustine and has been elected to two successive terms on the State bench.
Judge Mitchell's Court sat for regular semi-annual terms in the three counties jurisdiction, and held numerous special settings in each county.
In addition to his full load as a jurist, Judge Mitchell was a devoted family man, devoting much time to his children at school and extra-curricular activities, and was devotedly attentive to his aging parents, Lou Ramsey Mitchell and the late Rudy Mitchell. He was supporter of the 4-H and FFA and FHA programs and was a visible buyer at the annual (auction).
In a follow-up article dated Thursday, July 22, the Tribune reported that: "Funeral services for Judge Mitchell were held Saturday, July 17 at 11:00 o'clock at Christ Church Episcopal in San Augustine with burial in the San Augustine City Cemetery, Father Reginald Milburn Church's (conducting) services for the burial of the dead. Some 100 family and friends gathered inside the historic church building while over 500 friends gathered on the shaded lawn for the services. The Texas Department of Public Safety provided an Honor Guard for the services and they were joined by local and visiting police officers, sheriff's officers and officials from the three counties of the 273rd District. A flag folding ritual by the DPS team at the Cemetery presented the Casket Covering Texas Flag to Judge Mitchell's mother, Lurette Ramsey Mitchell at the end of the service. Judge Mitchell is survived by his wife, Lucy Meyer Mitchell; son Jody Mitchell, daughter Ginny Mitchell all of San Augustine.......
Pallbearers were family members, Pierre M. Stine, Ben S. Ramsey, Gray B. Jolink, William C. Ramsey, C. Fred Meyer, John P. Seale, Kenneth B. Meyer, Joseph F. Meyer IV. Honorary Pallbearers were the Go-Texan Committee, of which he formerly served as Ambassador, Mike Adams, Vic Ettridge, Roger Holt, Billy Archer, Jamie Doherty, Dan Fussel, Jack Nichols, Norrell Thomas, Richard Hardy, Rod McLerran, Jimmy C. Morris, "Raggy" Stripling.
Judge Mitchell's service to the County and State is varied, and he served the Democratic Party as County Party Chairman for eight years, 1978 through 1985, an elective party office. He served the City of San Augustine for 16 years as city attorney, 1973 through 1989 and served the County of San Augustine as County Attorney for three years (1989-1992) before being appointed to the State District Court bench (in September 1992. He was) elected as the Democratic Candidate in 1994 and 1998. "
This article included other professional and civic organizations that Judge Mitchell was active in, too numerous to list. It also included 15 or so pictures related to Judge Mitchell, highlighting his judicial and civic activism. A related article entitled "You're a Young Old Timer....if You Remember" pointed out that "too often we take those we see every day for granted and I'm afraid that's what we did to John Mitchell. I'm afraid we saw him every day and failed to recognize his greatness..." Finally, a related pictorial shows the various buildings around San Augustine that flew their flags at half-mast on the day of the funeral in Judge Mitchell's honor.
The announcement of Judge's Mitchell's accidental death was at around the same time as the announcement of the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr. in a plane crash off Martha's Vineyard.

As of the 1860 census, she was living with her grandparents, J.T. and Levina Montgomery, in Sabine Parish, Louisiana.
Elizabeth was said to have hidden under her bed as the Union army ransaked their plantation. A marriage bond was also issued for Elizabeth Montgomery and Jefferson Langham August 12, 1867 in Sabine Parish. It is unclear if this marriage ever took place or even if this is the same Elizabeth Montgomery. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 82).
Email from Dennis Belohlavy, December 6, 1930, "Per today's Lincoln Journal Star "Celebrate" section Elveda Montgomery Elznic, the widow of Ronald Duane Elznic, will be 80 years old tomorrow, her date of birth being 06 Dec 1930. "
Elveda Elznic died October 22, 2021 at the age of 90 years, 10 months and 16 days. Elveda was born in Geneva, Fillmore County, Nebraska on December 6, 1930 to Elvin and Fae Montgomery; was baptized and accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior at an early age. She attended Geneva Public School, kindergarten through 12, except the year of 1946 when she moved with her family to Los Angeles. She returned with them the following year and again attended Geneva Public School graduating there in 1948.
Upon graduation, Elveda was employed in Fillmore County Clerk's office until her marriage on August 20, 1950 to Ronald Elznic in Geneva. They lived on farms in Stanton and Chelsea Townships where they became involved in the rural life and raised their 3 children, Robert, Patricia, and Anne. Ron's nephew, Alvin, also lived with them a short time. She was active in her church and the Geneva Rebekah Lodge. In 1952, Elveda served as Noble Grand of the local lodge and as the Rebekah Lodges' District Musician.
Elveda, also, worked away from the farm during those years, as a receptionist/secretary in several offices in the area until her husband took employment at Nebraska Engineering Company of Omaha. She, then, often traveled with him throughout his territory and to many farm shows and fairs. Attending Nebraska State Fair, with her husband, led to the opportunity to work part time for 13 years in the Fair's administrative office.
Throughout the administration of Nebraska Governor Kay Orr and Lieutenant Governor, William E. Nichol-1987 to 1991- Elveda was administrative assistant to Lieutenant Governor. During that time, she also served as Extradition Secretary for the State of Nebraska. When this term ended, she accepted a position as administrative secretary for a newly elected Senator in the Unicameral and helped establish the Senator's office. Many years before Elveda was to become Lieutenant Governor Nichols' Administrative Assistant, she had stated one of her goals was to become the first female Governor of the State of Nebraska. She did not achieve that dream, but did work in Nebraska's first female Governor's administration.
After Ron and Elveda retired and moved to Lincoln in 1992, Elveda served on the Lancaster Country Election Board for many years and did volunteer work at the State Historical Society, Campbell Elementary School, Back to the Bible, The Salvation Army and Lincoln/ Lancaster Habitat for Humanity. She helped The Salvation Army Disaster Team on September 11, 2001 when 4 commercial planes were diverted to Lincoln after the tragic events that day. Elveda kept in contact with one of the passengers who was stranded in Lincoln during that time. In 2007, she joined the Lincoln Senior Community Chorus which was a rewarding and joyful experience.
Elveda transferred her membership from the United Methodist Church in Geneva, where she had been a member for 50 years, to St. Luke United Methodist Church in Lincoln. She was part-time organist at St. Luke for 5 years for all of the worship services. After her stroke in 2002, she limited being accompanist on organ and piano to every Saturday evening service. She, also, played for many weddings and some funerals held at St. Luke. Deep appreciation of church organ music and traditional United Methodist Church services were the focus of her spiritual life. Elveda often stated that there was always one more piece of liturgical organ music she wanted to learn and play and perhaps in heaven there would be an organ for her to accompany a heavenly choir.
Elveda enjoyed traveling to other states and other countries. The highlight of her travels was a trip with Ron in 1998 to Scandinavian countries including Norway. At Bodoe, Norway she found the birthplace of her grandfather Andrews and met family she had never known. Special people they met there are Birger-Jan and Birtt Johansen who live on the farm where grandpa Andrews was born and many cousins who live nearby including Eva Hansen and her family. All of her newly discovered Norwegian relatives welcomed Elveda and Ron warmly and treated them royally. In 2001, Elveda and Ron mad the trip back to Bodoe, Norway accompanied by her sister and 2 cousins. She planned and organized the trips and said doing so was a big part of the excitement of traveling. Together she and her husband, Ron, made their funeral plans for their final trips to heaven to be with Jesus.
Good memories included the family together at Ft. Robinson and Mahoney State Park. It was a special joy to have all of the children and grandchildren there.
Elveda is survived by, her son, Robert and wife Barbara of Cedar Bluff, NE; daughter, Patricia Nun and son-in-law, Dennis of Lincoln, and daughter, Anne Kastl formerly of Lincoln; 10 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
Elveda is preceded in death by, her husband; parents; sister, Nancy; brother, Charles and grandsons, Ryan Elznic and Jordan David Nun.

A Joseph Montgomery was listed on the 1816 census in Adams County, Mississippi and on the 1818 Tax list for the same, later moving to the Neutral Strip-Negreet. He claimed lands in Sabine Parish in early 1820's cort in Natchitoches, La. However, he is listed as owning land as early as 1805 and being one of the settlers on the Rio Hondo lands. He was a private in the 12th and 13th consolidated Regiment, Louisiana Militia during the War of 1812. He was listed as owning 6 or more slaves in 1861. According to Lona Mae Duggan Gordon, Joseph lived in a double pen house. Usually constructed of Pine logs, there were one or more rooms in two separate enclosures under one roof. When first arriving in Sabine Parish, there were many bears that often would attack livestock, so Joseph brought the livestock into the cabin penned in a corner by the chimney for protection.
Joseph Turner Montgomery, Lavinia Montgomery, and Nancy Morris all have their names on a bronze plaque beside the door of the Zion Hill Baptist Church in Negreet which states, "On the third Sunday in December, Anno Domino, 1826, Zion Hill Church was constituted by the following Presbytery to wit: William Cook and James Martin." The land the church was built on was donated by Joseph. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 82-83).
The History of Sabine Parish, Louisiana (author John Belisle, The Sabien Banner Press, 1912) states that "in 1860 the white population of Sabine Parish numbers about four thousant, and there were less than two thousand slaves. There were few really wealthy people in the parish, and many owned not more than one of two slaves. the owners of six or more in 1861 included Joseph F. Montgomery.
At the time of the 1870 census enumeration, Joseph T. Montgomery, age 105, was living with his son and daughter-in-law, A J and Laura Mongomery, in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. He was shown as born ca 1865 in Mississippi.
