DR. JOHN S. MONTGOMERY.
Like many other young men of Logan County, Ohio, who
have distinguished themselves in public and professional
life, Dr. John S. Montgomery commenced teaching
school at an early age, and while thus engaged began the
study of medicine. He is a native-born resident of
Huntsville, Ohio, his birth occurring on the 9th of
January, 1861, and is the son of James B. Montgomery,
a native of Ohio. The grandfather, Adam
Montgomery, was a native of Pennsylvania and of
Irish descent, the family coming to America in Colonial
times. Adam Montgomery followed the
occupation of a farmer and came to Ohio at an early day.
He went by land to Pittsburgh, thence down the Ohio
River by flatboat and settled in the woods in Adams
County, Ohio, where he built a log cabin and began
making improvements. Numerous wild animals
abounded, and as he was quite a hunter, much of his
space time was spent with his trusty gun. He made
improvements on his place, cleared it of the heavy
timber with which it was covered, and there passed the
remainder of his days, dying when sixty-four years of
age. He was a member of the Covenanter Church and
a Democrat in politics.
The father of our subject was also a farmer by
occupation, and he cultivated the home place of two
hundred acres. He was very fond of fine
horses and always kept a great many on his place.
He was but forty-four years of age when his death
occurred. In religion, he was a Presbyterian, and
in politics, a Democrat until the war broke out, after
which he became a strong Republican. He was
married to Miss Armaneila Seaton, a native of
Ohio, and the result of this union was two children:
William L., who died when but fourteen months old,
and our subject. Mrs. Montgomery was also
quite young when her death occurred, being but
twenty-seven. She was a member of the Methodist
Church. Her father, William Seaton, was
born in Ireland and came to America when young. He
first followed the trade of a shoemaker in Westmoreland
County, Pa., but subsequently moved to Adams County,
Ohio, and engaged in agricultural pursuits, developing a
fine farm from the wilderness. There is death
occurred.
Dr. Montgomery became familiar with the arduous
duties of the farm at an early age, and was graduated in
the business course. He nearly completed the
scientific course. He nearly completed the
scientific course, and afterward taught school for six
years, at Russellville (Ohio) Union schools for two
years, and at Youngsville, Ohio, for four years.
In the meantime, our subject was studying medicine under
Dr. W. K. Coleman, of West Union, Ohio, and
taught in a Normal school one summer at that place.
He entered the Ohio Medical College, at Cincinnati,
Ohio, in 1887, and graduated at that institution in
1889. Besides the regular course, our subject took
special studies on the diseases of the eye. After
graduating, the Doctor came to Huntsville, and has built
up a large and lucrative practice.
He was married in this city on the 26th of September,
1889, to Miss Kate C. Allison, a native of the
Keystone State, born on the 9th of October, 1867, and
they have one bright little boy, Willard A.
Doctor and Mrs. Montgomery are members of the
Presbyterian Church, and he is a Republican in his
political views. He takes a decided interest in
all political matters, and is ready with his means to
assist all worthy enterprises. socially, the
Doctor is a member of the Belle Centre Lodge No. 428, K.
