General Notes: Husband - John Montgomery, M.D.

---

He was educated at Lititz Academy and at the Chambersburg Academy. He served a three years' apprenticeship to the drug business, and then studied medicine with Dr. John C. Richards, an eminent physician at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. He was graduated M. D. at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, March 9, 1858, and began the practice in Chambersburg. In 1864 he entered into partnership with Dr. Richards, his former preceptor, with whom he continued for eight years. He was a member of the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and was its vice-president in 1874, and was also president and recording secretary of the Franklin County Medical Society. In 1892 he published a history of the Medical Society of Franklin County, with sketches of the early practitioners of the county, and in 1902 he read a paper before the society on Gen. Hugh Mercer, who was the first physician in the Conococheague Valley. In 1886 Dr. Montgomery associated with him in his practice his son, Dr. P. Brough Montgomery. He retired from practice in 1902, his son James H. Montgomery becoming the partner of his elder brother.
Although he was a Democrat he was appointed by President Arthur a member of the first board of United States medical examiners in southern Pennsylvania, a position that he retained for fourteen years, 1884-97. He was for many years one of the visitors appointed by the Pennsylvania Board of Public Charities to inspect the Charitable institutions of Franklin County. He was a prominent Freemason beginning in 1858, and for many years was Worshipful Master of George Washington Lodge, No. 143; he was also a member of George Washington R. A. Chapter, No. 176.
