Dr. Montgomery was born March 25, 1875, in Chambersburg, Pa., a son of Dr. John 
Montgomery.  He was educated in the schools of the town and at Chambersburg 
Academy, and then read medicine with his father and brother, taking his degree 
M.D. in 1898 from the Medico Chirurgical College, Philadelphia, Pa.

Dr. Montgomery began at once the practice of medicine in Chambersburg, but later 
in the same year was appointed Assistant Surgeon, U. S. Army.  His first service 
was at the Red Cross Hospital, Camp Meade, near Middletown, Pa.  Later he was in 
service at Sommerville, S.C., Augusta, Ga., Tampa, Fla., and in Cuba.  After the

1904, when he removed to Florida and engaged in other pursuits.  He has 
continued to reside in Florida to the present.  He was never a member of the 
Medical Society.
