General Notes: Husband - Alexander Montgomery

---

His early education was obtained in the neighborhood schools, which he attended during the winter season, and he also was a pupil at the Elderton Academy until he reached the age of twenty-one years. Meantime he began his business life, buying mules and horses for Leech & Montgomery, of Leechburg, throughout the period of the Civil war. After his marriage he moved to Pittsburgh, where he continued trading in horses and mules for five years, at the end of that time settling at Fairview, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he carried on the same business and also ran a livery, remaining there eight years. In 1880 he returned to Armstrong County and settled at Kittanning, engaged in his old line and in farming. In 1885 he was elected sheriff and served for three years, and he later served two terms as county commissioner.
