Ernest A. Savory
Teton County
History of Montana, Sanders, 1913

In 1884 Ernest A. Savory, a young Englishman who had just 
attained the legal age of manhood came to the United States 
to avail himself of the opportunities here afforded young 
men of character, energy and ambition to work out a career.  
Nearly thirty years have passed since then and today finds 
him established as one of the most successful stockmen of 
Teton County Montana.

Mr. Savory was born October 24, 1863, a son of Henry A. and 
Anna Upjohn Savory, both of whom also were natives of 
England.  The father died in Thornage, Norfolk County, 
England, in 1909 at the age of seventy four but the 
mother is still living and resides at Thornage.  Sixteen 
children came to their union and of these Ernest a. is 
sixth in order of birth. 

To the age of seven our subject was educated in the 
schools of his native shire, being then apprenticed to 
learn the miller's trade and it was upon the close of 
his four years' apprenticeship that he came to the 
United States.  Locating at Minneapolis, Minnesota, 
he followed his trade there two years and then in 1887 
pushed farther west, settling at Dupuyer, Teton County, 
Montana.  Here he engaged in the raising of live stock 
and he has now spent twenty five years in that line of 
business with large profit.  There are six hundred 
acres in his estate and he raises and grazes large 
numbers of horses and cattle.  His residence is at 
Dupuyer.  His capital with which to begin his independent 
career consisted of a thorough knowledge of his trade, 
pluck, energy, a large stock of perseverance, and good 
business ability and by their use he has acquired that 
competence which makes him one of the substantial men of 
Teton County.

In September 1897 at Dupuyer Montana was solemnized the 
marriage of Mr. Savory and Miss Annie Bail whose birthplace 
also occurred across the water, she being a daughter of 
Erin's Isle.  Mr. and Mrs. Savory have no children.
