WILLIAM J. MONTAGUE was born in London, Ontario. His father moved with his 
family to Michigan in 1864, buying a farm in the Township of Abner, Tuscola 
County. The son received his education in the schools of the village. After 
leaving school he followed teaming, hauling goods to and from East Saginaw. In 
1876 he went into the livery stable business, also the buying and selling of 
horses. Has been in the lumber business, logging on his own lands sometimes and 
jobbing for others occasionally. In the early days of lumbering in Tuscola 
County, lands were not cut very close and even sometimes trees which were felled 
were not all cut up into saw logs. Mr. Montague has done some very profitable 
business in going over such lands the second time. Is a married man.
