Dr. H. L. Montgomery, the popular physician of Herring Township, was 
born in Mississippi on September 29, 1865, and is a son of John M. and 
Martha (Strickland) Montgomery, who were natives of McNairy County, 
Tenn., and Marshall County, Miss., respectively, and were married in 
the latter State, and to them were born a family of thirteen children. 
His father a Methodist minister for many years, and a member of the 
Masonic fraternity, emigrated to Arkansas in 1879, locating in 
Faulkner County, and himself and wife worship as members of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church South. 

The Doctor received the greater part of his education at Oxford, 
Miss., and began his medical studies in 1880 and commenced practice in 
1881 on the Arkansas bottoms, thence South Bush in 1883-84, and

January 8, 1832, and May 9, 1836, and were the parents of ten 
children. Her father was captain of Company F, of Third Arkansas 
Regiment of Cavalry, and belonged to the Masonic order. 

The Doctor and wife are the happy parents of two children: Lawrence E. 
and Ohma. In religion he and wife worship with the same denomination
