JOHN LAWRENCE MONTGOMERY, M. D.
Dr. John L. Montgomery, one of the younger representatives of the medical
fraternity of Minneapolis, has demonstrated his ability to cope with the
intricate problems that continually confront the physician, and during the
period of his residence in this city he has built up a large practice. He was
born at Eau Claire, Wisconsin, March 2, 1890, and his parents, Dr. Alexander and
Anna (Benick) Montgomery, were also natives of the Badger state. The father was
a successful surgeon and for twenty years he engaged in practice at Eau Claire,
acting as city physician for many years, while he also owned and operated the
Montgomery Hospital. He gained high standing in his profession and his demise
occurred in 1916. The mother is yet living.
After finishing his high school course, John Lawrence Montgomery became a
student at St. Norbert's College of De Pere, Wisconsin, in which he acquired his
academic training, and then attended the Illinois School of Pharmacy and the
Illinois Medical College at Chicago. For two years he was a student at the
Marquette Medical College of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, later entering the College of
Physicians & Surgeons in that city, which he attended for a year, and he
completed his professional training at Loyola University of Chicago, from which
he was graduated in 1911, with the M. D. degree. He next became interne at the
Jefferson Park Hospital of that city, thus putting his theoretical training to
the practical test, and in 1911 he opened an office at Eau Claire, Wisconsin,
where he remained until 1915. He has since engaged in practice in this city and
his labors have been rewarded by gratifying results. He is a member of the
medical staff of Fairview Hospital and is also connected with the Rosedale
Hospital and St. Andrew's Hospital. He has ever kept in close touch with the
trend of modern professional thought, research and investigation and gives his
best efforts to his profession. During the World war he volunteered for service
in the Medical Corps of the United States army. In his student days he was noted
for his athletic prowess, playing fullback on the football team of the College
of Physicians & Surgeons, and while acting &s tackle for the football team of
Marquette Medical College he had the misfortune to break an arm.
On the 2d of January, 1911, Dr. Montgomery was married to Miss Winifred E.
Loughney of Duluth, Minnesota, and they have become the parents of a son, Jack.
Dr. Montgomery's professional connections are with the Hennepin County Medical
Society and the American Medical Association. In the field of professional
service he has made rapid progress, gleaning from close study and from practical
experience valuable truths in connection with the science of medicine, and his
fellow practitioners attest his ability and personal worth.
