General Notes: Husband - Harry E. Montgomery


He attended public school, finishing at Kittanning, Pennsylvania. Subsequently he entered his father's business, buying and selling horses, with headquarters at Pittsburgh, and Kittanning. In 1905 he embarked in a wholesale liquor business at Kittanning, but later in the livery and undertaking business. He built a modern brick barn, 66 by 100 feet, with a capacity of sixty horses. Mr. Montgomery was fond of light harness race horses, having owned some of the best in the country, notably "Helen Tell," wagon record 2:08¼; "Dakota Dan," 2:11¼ (pacer); "Creoline," 2:16¼ (trotter); "Lacey Killbuck," 2:17¼ (trotter); and "Baron Richards," a noted stallion (trotter). He campaigned a few horses every year, and had excellent success, driving them himself.
