Census US 1930*9 April 1930Mildred and Henry Jenne were enumerated on the 1930 census taken on 9 April 1930 at 652 Atwood Street, Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. They were newlyweds. Henry was 22 years of age, and had been age 22 when he married, and Mildred was age 17, had been age 17 when she married, and had attended school since 1 September of the previous year. They rented their house for $18.00 per month, and did not own a radio set. Henry worked as a house carpenter.4

(Son-in-Law) MurderHis father-in-law's murder was a major story in the Louisville newspapers for several months. The front page of The Courier-Journal on Monday, 2 May 1932 shouted news of the killing with a series of cascading headlines over the details of the event. Our transcriptions of that first story, and three later ones, follow:


The Courier-Journal, Louisville, Kentucky, Monday, 2 May 1932, page 1

Foreman Found Stabbed Fatally

Police Learn of Quarrel; Man Sought

Woman Finds Body in Home, on Bed Beside Her Sleeping Husband

Five Inch Blade Used

Oscar Montgomery, Factory Employee, Killed at House of Fellow Worker


Stabbed twice in the throat with a kitchen knife, Oscar G. Montgomery, 49 years old, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, a factory foreman, was found dead at 7:30 o’clock Sunday night at the home of Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street. Geiger and Montgomery were fellow employees.

After an investigation, detectives flashed teletype orders for the arrest of John Kinslow, Geiger’s brother-in-law. Kinslow, who lives at the Geiger home, was not there when the body was found. The teletype bulletin specified that Kinslow was wanted on a murder charge. He and Montgomery had quarreled, the detectives learned.

Woman Finds Body

Gieger was asleep when Montgomery’s body was found by Mrs. Gieger on her return from a visit in the neighborhood. Her husband was on the bed where the body was lying.

Failing in an attempt to waken Geiger, Mrs. Geiger drove to the home of some friends, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and asked for help. Mr. Perkins was thought to be at the home of Frank Pousardien, 545 Wainwright Street. Mrs. Perkins went there with Mrs. Geiger. Mr. Perkins was not there, but Mr. and Mrs. Pousardien and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Phelps, 1013 South Floyd Street, who were visiting the Pousardiens, accompanied Mrs. Geiger to her home.

Mr. Phelps awakened Geiger. Police were told he exclaimed, “My God, what has happened?” and then collapsed. He was soon revived.

Pair Quarreled, Claim

The detectives established that Kinslow had spoken harshly to his sister, Mrs. Maggie (Kinslow) Geiger, Sunday afternoon in the presence of Montgomery who reprimanded him. Geiger told the police he did not attach any importance to the quarrel.

Geiger, who had been in Appleton, Wisconsin settling the estate of his father, and who had returned by motor, was tired and sleepy from the trip, and had gone to sleep, he said. He admitted he had had some liquor. No charge was placed against him.

Montgomery’s widow, Mrs. Anna Montgomery said her husband had taken her and their two sons, Charles Montgomery and Gerald Montgomery, for an automobile drive Sunday afternoon but Mr. Montgomery seemed to have been drinking. Mrs. Montgomery took the children and left the car.

Near Montgomery’s left shoulder was the knife believed to have been used to inflict the wounds. It is a kitchen knife with a blade about five inches long.

Jugular Vein Cut

Dr. Roy L. Carter, Coroner, said one of the stab wounds severed the jugular vein.

Montgomery was a native of Jasper, Indiana. Besides his wife and two sons, he is survived by another son, Edwin Montgomery, and three daughters, Miss Dorothy Montgomery, Miss Esther Montgomery, and Mrs. Mildred Jenne.

Alleged Knife Killer is Nabbed

Prisoner is Returned to Louisville

Kinslow is Silent After He is Brought Here by Detectives

Accused of Murder

Arrested in Glasgow in Slaying of Oscar Montgomery


John Kinslow, 34 years old, who lives near Glasgow, Kentucky, was arrested on the street in Glasgow at Monday afternoon 4:30 o’clock at the request of Louisville police, who believe he killed Oscar Montgomery, 49-year-old foundry foreman, by cutting his jugular vein with a butcher knife at 1815 South Third Street Sunday. When apprehended, Kinslow refused to say anything, according to W. T. Bransetter, Barren County Deputy Sheriff.

Kinslow was returned to Louisville at 1:00 o’clock Tuesday morning. He was questioned, but would say anything except. “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember.” He was returned in custody of Detective Sergeants Charles Hazel, Charles Brown and Elmer Smith, the latter secretary of the detective department.

A charge of murder was registered against Kinslow. Sergeant Hazel signed the warrant preferring the charge. The detective listed as evidence $2.29 of $4 in Kinslow’s possession. The amount listed as evidence was allegedly taken from the slain man.

The man arrested had left the Geiger home when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery slain. Her husband was asleep in the same bed. Geiger, who had been to Appleton, Wisconsin to settle the estate of his father, was exhausted from the drive and had been drinking, and efforts of Mrs. Geiger to awaken him were futile. Mrs. Geiger started out to obtain help.

Mrs. Geiger said that Kinslow, who is her brother, was at the residence shortly before Montgomery came in. Geiger was asleep and the other two men talked for a while she said. Montgomery had been drinking and when Kinslow spoke gruffly to Mrs. Geiger, Montgomery rebuked him and an argument followed, the police were told.

When Mrs. Geiger left for the home of Mr. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, her brother walked out, followed by Montgomery, she related.

It was about two and a half hours later when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery stabbed.

Funeral services for Montgomery will be held at 8:30 o’clock Wednesday morning at his residence, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, and at 9 o’clock at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church. Burial will be in St. Louis Cemetery.

Kinslow Trial Resumes Today

Sister of Defendant in Fatal Stabbing Testifies for Commonwealth


Trial of John Kinslow, 42 years old, Glasgow, Kentucky, on a charge of murder will be resumed in the Criminal Court Tuesday. The indictment on which he is being charged alleges he stabbed Oscar G. Montgomery, 49, of 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, to death at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street, May 1.

Testifying for the Commonwealth Monday, the first day of the trial, Mrs. Gieger, who is Kinslow’s sister, said he had been visiting her home for three weeks before the tragedy and had acted so strange she believed his mind was affected. She related that Montgomery came to the house the morning of the stabbing and aroused her brother’s resentment by interceding for her when her brother spoke gruffly to her.

She left home after cautioning her brother not to say anything to Montgomery because Montgomery was drunk, she said, adding that she left the house and when she returned in the afternoon she found Montgomery in bed dead, a butcher knife at his side, and her husband in bed with him asleep.

Kinslow, who had disappeared, was arrested in Glasgow several days later although he denied knowledge of the crime, and said he had been drinking. He is represented by attorneys Frank E. Daugherty and Thomas Gardner.

Mr. Geiger, also a witness for the Commonwealth, gave little information about the stabbing. He said he was drunk at the time and knew of “no trouble between Kinslow and Montgomery.” The prosecution is being handled by Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan.

John Kinslow Gets Life Term for Slaying of Louisville Man

Knife Murder Jury Out for One Hour; Defense Announces Plan to Appeal


A life sentence in the penitentiary was voted by a jury in the Criminal Court at 5:45 o’clock Tuesday afternoon for John Kinslow, Glasgow, Kentucky, for the murder of Oscar G. Montgomery, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue. The verdict was reached after the jury had deliberated for an hour and five minutes.

Announcing that he was “very much surprised” by the verdict, Frank E. Daugherty, attorney for Kinslow, at once presented an oral motion for a new trial and announced that he will put the motion into writing. If the plea is not granted Mr. Daugherty will appeal the verdict, he announced.

Kinslow was accused of cutting Montgomery’s throat May 1 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street.

In summarizing the case for the Commonwealth, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan reviewed the evidence which he contended proved Kinslow guilty of the killing.

Closing arguments for the defense, presented by Mr. Daugherty, contended that the Commonwealth had failed to connect Kinslow with Montgomery’s death. Mr. Daugherty also pointed to testimony introduced by the defense in an effort to show that Kinslow was of unsound mind.

The testimony regarding Kinslow’s mental condition was given by his sister, Lallah G. (Kinslow) Ellis, identified as Mrs. W. E. Ellis, Dr. M. E. Loftus, Eugene Wooten and Nat Brady, all of Glasgow. Each asserted that Kinslow was irresponsible and subject to wild delusions.

They were preceded on the witness stand by Kinslow, himself, who stated that he couldn’t even remember meeting Montgomery that day. He recalled little of what happened, he said, except that he left the Geiger home about 2 or 3 o’clock in the afternoon and hitch-hiked to Glasgow where he arrived the next day.

His testimony followed Judge Alfred T. Burgevin’s refusal to give preemptory instructions for a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Daugherty argued in favor of the motion approximately fifteen minutes, after testimony for the Commonwealth was completed with statements of Mrs. Elizabeth Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and Mrs. R. W. Dupree, 1810 South Third Street. They said they saw Kinslow arguing in Geiger’s yard with a man resembling Montgomery May 1, and that they saw him later try to enter the house.

That night Mrs. Geiger found her husband asleep in bed with Montgomery, whose throat had been cut. A butcher knife was at Montgomery’s side

(Youngest Daughter) Missing Person11 August 1957 On Sunday, 11 August 1957, her mother, Rose (Beebe) Jewett, wandered away from a family berry-picking camp in rugged country near the Elk River in north-central Idaho. An organized search for her had begun as soon as she was reported missing, It was called off on Tuesday, then resumed on Wednesday at the request of her daughters, Nellie Wymore and Eula Johnson. Nelllie, who lived in Boise, Idaho, described her mother as an elderly 85-year-old woman, who was "quite active", although her memory had been failing. Nellie believed her mother may have been picked up along a highway, then left off somewhere, and that with her memory failing, she may have forgotten who she was or where she was from. Nellie said her mother was about five feet tall, weighed about 117 pounds, and had white hair. At the time of her disappearance, she had no money with her.

Newspapers reported that many searchers and woods workers had been released from their jobs to aid in the hunt for the missing woman, and that a helicopter had also been in use. Some searchers reported on Wednesday that they had combed the area so thoroughly it appeared doubtful the elderly Mrs. Jewett was anywhere near the spot she wandered away from on Sunday.

By Thursday, October 17, Rose had still not been found. Newspapers reminded their readers that the frail, elderly woman had been missing for two months, since August 11, in the heavily timbered mountain country near Elk River. They reported that Rose's daughter, Eula Johnson of Juliaetta, Idaho, was offering a reward for the finding of her mother who had disappeared while on a family huckleberry picking expedition. Eula would pay $500 for information leading to the finding of her mother alive and $300 for information leading to the discovery of her body. Volunteers and deputies, aided by planes and bloodhounds, had made a long and extensive search of the area without turning up any trace of Mrs. Jewett. There had been speculation the woman might have been given a ride by a motorist, but officers had checked out all tips without result. Mrs. Johnson stated she had not given up hope that her mother would be found alive.

Two of Rose's sons, Joseph and Hubert, had predeceased their mother's disappearance in 1957. In addition to Rose's two daughters, Nellie and Eula, who were featured in the newspaper stories regarding her disappearance, five of Rose's other children were living. Clara, Preston, William and Nora also lived in Idaho at the time, and Bulah, who had lived in Idaho much of her life, had moved to Oregon after her second marriage in 1955.9,10 
Residence*1959Henry G. Nylund and his wife Bulah U. were listed in the 1959 City Directory for Astoria, Clatsop County, Oregon. George worked at the Bradwood sawmill.11 
Marriage* Her second husband died in 1971 and Bulah married her third husband in 1979.12,13

Mother*Rose Beebe1 b. Oct 1872
Birth*16 November 1890Clara E. Jewett was born on 16 November 1890 in California.1,2 
Marriage*9 July 1913She married Cyrus H. Lowther, son of Mansfield Lowther and Annie Elizabeth Murrain, on 9 July 1913 at Slate Creek, White Bird, Idaho County, Idaho.3,4,2,5 
(Child) Missing Person11 August 1957 On Sunday, 11 August 1957, her mother, Rose (Beebe) Jewett, wandered away from a family berry-picking camp in rugged country near the Elk River in north-central Idaho. An organized search for her had begun as soon as she was reported missing, It was called off on Tuesday, then resumed on Wednesday at the request of her daughters, Nellie Wymore and Eula Johnson. Nelllie, who lived in Boise, Idaho, described her mother as an elderly 85-year-old woman, who was "quite active", although her memory had been failing. Nellie believed her mother may have been picked up along a highway, then left off somewhere, and that with her memory failing, she may have forgotten who she was or where she was from. Nellie said her mother was about five feet tall, weighed about 117 pounds, and had white hair. At the time of her disappearance, she had no money with her.

Newspapers reported that many searchers and woods workers had been released from their jobs to aid in the hunt for the missing woman, and that a helicopter had also been in use. Some searchers reported on Wednesday that they had combed the area so thoroughly it appeared doubtful the elderly Mrs. Jewett was anywhere near the spot she wandered away from on Sunday.

By Thursday, October 17, Rose had still not been found. Newspapers reminded their readers that the frail, elderly woman had been missing for two months, since August 11, in the heavily timbered mountain country near Elk River. They reported that Rose's daughter, Eula Johnson of Juliaetta, Idaho, was offering a reward for the finding of her mother who had disappeared while on a family huckleberry picking expedition. Eula would pay $500 for information leading to the finding of her mother alive and $300 for information leading to the discovery of her body. Volunteers and deputies, aided by planes and bloodhounds, had made a long and extensive search of the area without turning up any trace of Mrs. Jewett. There had been speculation the woman might have been given a ride by a motorist, but officers had checked out all tips without result. Mrs. Johnson stated she had not given up hope that her mother would be found alive.

Two of Rose's sons, Joseph and Hubert, had predeceased their mother's disappearance in 1957. In addition to Rose's two daughters, Nellie and Eula, who were featured in the newspaper stories regarding her disappearance, five of Rose's other children were living. Clara, Preston, William and Nora also lived in Idaho at the time, and Bulah, who had lived in Idaho much of her life, had moved to Oregon after her second marriage in 1955.6,7
