General Notes: Husband - John Montgomery


He was born in Hanover township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He attended the schools, however, in Greene township, in the same county, coming to the farm at Hookstown when he was about six years of age, and living there continuously thereafter. As soon as he was old enough to handle the plow he commenced to work in the fields, his life being spent in the usual uneventful manner of a farmer's boy of that period. Upon the completion of his education the labors of the farm absorbed all of his time and attention, and he devoted his energies to the cultivation of his land. He had two hundred and fifty acres under cultivation, and made many improvements on the property. Among these was the erection of a modern, well-equipped house, fitted up with all possible conveniences. Mr. Montgomery took an intelligent and earnest interest in the political situation of his section, as well as in that of the entire country, and cast his vote in favor of the Republican party, but he never desired to hold public office.
