General Notes: Husband - Matthew Davidson Montgomery

---

His second wife came from the Ohio border. They settled on land his father acquired in Venango County, Pennsylvania, and he inherited that place when his father died, living there up to the time of his third marriage.

He was a thrifty, prosperous farmer, owning 180 acres of land in his two farms, to whose cultivation he devoted most of his energies. When the oil excitement broke out in that section he had an interest on Oil creek and worked in that field for a time. Part of the house on the Griffin farm dates back seventy-five years, and he built a substantial addition thereto in 1870. He was enterprising and progressive, and besides looking after his own affairs capably took a hand in the local government and other matters of general interest. Originally a Whig in politics, he later became a Democrat, and worked faithfully for his party. He was elected to some of the minor township offices. He was one of the stockholders in the Mount Irwin cemetery, his son Samuel succeeding him in that connection. His religious connection was with the M. E. Church at Pleasant View. [CAB, 733]
