General Notes: Husband - John Addison Montgomery

---

He was born, reared and educated in Irwin Township. He was trained to farm duties, but during ten years of his early manhood he worked as a pumper in the oil field. He lived with his parents until he was thirty years old, in 1893 removing to Sandy Creek Township and settling on his present [1919] farm, formerly the L. F. Boals place, which comprises 160 acres. A fine home stood on the tract when it came into Mr. Montgomery's possession, but it was burned down nine years ago and he subsequently built his present residence, having a substantial, comfortable house in thorough keeping with the surroundings, which indicate thrift on every hand. He has prospered as a general farmer, and during the last sixteen years has been dairying, keeping over twenty cows, grade Holsteins which have proved very profitable as milkers. He disposes of the product in Franklin. Mr. Montgomery has the oil rights on his land leased, and there are now twenty producing wells on the property, which yield a steady income. The farm lies three miles south of Franklin.
Like his father Mr. Montgomery supports the Democratic Party, and he takes a live interest in politics and other public matters. He has served his township as road commissioner, member of the school board, judge of elections and in other minor positions, but has refused the responsibilities of higher office, though he is always willing to give his assistance toward securing good government.
