   FRANCES D. MONTANYE, 92, of Towanda passed away Friday evening, April 7,
   2000, at the Skilled Nursing Unit, Memorial Hospital, Towanda.  Born
   Nov. 11, 1907, in Towanda, she was the second daughter of the late Frank
   D. and Helen D. Tracy Montanye.  Both of her parents were lifelong
   residents of Towanda, where her father maintained a jewelry store
   founded in 1840 by his grandfather W.A. Chamberlin and located on Main
   Street opposite the courthouse.  The family lived in a spacious
   apartment on the second and third floors over the store in the building
   erected by Mr. Chamberlin.  After attending both private and public
   schools in Towanda, Frances graduated from Towanda High School in 1925,
   following which she attended Wells College, Aurora-on-Cayuga, NY. Being
   especially fond of sports and athletics, she played on various
   basketball, tennis, track and field, and hockey - during her high school
   and college years.  Initially she was employed as a member of the staff
   of the Bradford County Department of Public Assistance.  She left the
   position after the outbreak of World War II to enter the U.S. Naval
   Service as a W.A.V.E. officer candidate.  She attended the U.S. Naval
   Reserved Midshipmen's School at Northampton, Mass., and upon graduation
   was commissioned an ensign.  Having been trained in communications and
   naval intelligence, she was assigned to the U.S. Naval Communications
   Stations, office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Washington, D.C. She
   remained at this post until after the end of the war and was honorably
   discharged on Aug. 13, 1946, with the rank of lieutenant (Senior Grade).
   She remained a member of the U.S. Naval Reserve, subject to recall to
   active duty in an assigned mobilization billet in the event of future
   hostilities.  Frances resumed her civilian career, remaining in
   Washington and fulfilling a position on the staff of the Committee on
   Veterans' Affairs of the U.S. House of Representatives for a number of
   years.  Subsequently she was employed as a congressional assistant in
   the office of the Hon. Edith Hourse Rogers of Massachusetts.  Upon the
   death of Congresswoman Rogers, Frances held a similar position in the
   office of the Hon Herman T. Schnecebeli, member of Congress from
   Pennsylvania.  Frances retired in 1970.  She spent 26 ½ years in
   Washington, forming many friendships and enjoying the cultural
   advantages the city had to offer.  Nevertheless, she was happy to return
   to her hometown of Towanda to rejoin her family, relatives and friends,
   whom she had been seeing only briefly when on leave or vacation.  As a
   lifelong member of Christ Episcopal Church in Towanda she served it at
   different times in a number of ways - as Sunday school teacher, member
   of the choir and the Altar Guild, member of the Vestry, and senior
   warden.  She enjoyed active membership in a number of organizations and
   clubs, including the George Clymer Chapter, Daughters of the American
   Revolution; the 20th Century Club; and the Towanda Country Club, of
   which her father was a charter member.  Surviving are cousins Suzanne
   and Edward Kulick of Wysox RR 2 and Ulilla and John Costello of
   Moretown, Vt.  Friends may call on Monday from 2 to 4 p.m. at the
   Maryott-Bowen Funeral Home, 217 York Ave., Towanda. ; A requiem Mass will
   be celebrated Tuesday, April 11, 2000, at 11 a.m. at Christ Episcopal
   Church, Main Street, Towanda, with the Rev. Maureen Hipple, rector as
   celebrant.  Interment will follow in Oak Hill Cemetery, Towanda, with
   Towanda American Legion Post No. 42 according full military honors.

   Church, 1 Main St., Towanda, Pa. in Frances' memory.
