          Robert Montgomery

of the firm of Montgomery & Roecker, bankers, was born on the 9th of August, 1837 in Bangor, Ireland. His parents, Hugh and Agnes Montgomery, were both natives of Ireland, and when seventeen years of age Robert crossed the ocean, landing at New York City, June 13, 1854. He soon became engaged as clerk in a wholesale house, and in December, 1854, he moved to Jackson County, Ohio, where he remained until 1860, making his home with an uncle, and attending school some two years. He then resumed the duties of clerk at the Latrobe iron furnace, and in 1860, he located in Greenup County, Kentucky. One year later he returned to Ohio, and again engaged as clerk at the Keystone furnace. After remaining there some four months, in August, 1861, he volunteered in the Union army. He went to Greenup, Kentucky, where he assisted in recruiting Company C, Twenty-second Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, and held the position of second lieutenant. After serving some eighteen months, he accepted a position as Aid-de-camp, on General George W. Morgan's staff. In June, 1963, General Morgan resigned; the subject of this sketch also resigned, and accepted the position of sutler of the First Ohio Heavy Artillery, with which he continued until February, 1865. During his term of service he took part in the battles of Pond Gap, under General Garfield, at the taking of Cumberland Gap, in 1862, under General Morgan, the battle of Yazoo Bluffs, in the rear of Vicksburg, under General Sherman, then under General McClellan, of Illinois, at the capture of Arkansas Post, and back to Vicksburg, where Morgan resigned. In 1862, while they held Cumberland Gap, Mr. Montgomery, with a force of men, went to Barboursville, Kentucky, and paroled some four hundred prisoners. In February, 1865, he became a clerk at the Berkley iron furnace, where he remained for some nine months. On the 14th of November, 1865, he married Miss Frances S. White, daughter of Hiram W.

In January, 1875, Mr. Zook retired, and M. S. Norman became a member; the name of the firm then becoming Montgomery & Norman.

Married:

     According to one account, Robert and Frances were married at her parents' home by the Rev. John Crozier, of the Olney Presbyterian church.
     The following account was published in the Holt County Sentinel, of Oregon, Missouri, on Friday, 19 November 1915.

          Their Golden Wedding

          Mr. and Mrs. Robert Montgomery
          Celebrate Their Fiftieth
          Wedding Anniversary

     That marriage is not a failure is demonstrated beyond the least shadow of a doubt on such occasions as that of Sunday last, November 14, when Mr. and Mrs. Robert Montgomery, of this city, were accorded a most pleasant surprise on the 50th anniversary of their wedding at the home of their son, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram W. Montgomery; their only child.
     The celebration of the 50th anniversary of a wedding event is of more than ordinary occasion, and few couples live to celebrate such an event.
     The life of these two people has been beautifully blended, and have lived such a long series of years together in such Christian harmony, that it may well be said that such marriages are ordained by the Master. Their lives together in our midst for the past 44 years has been an inspiration for all that was good, pure, and ideal in life. With the exception of six years, their entire married life has been spent among us, and they surely enjoy the esteem and love of all our people. They have gone hand in hand and heart with heart; the ups and down of life together so beautifully, and they doubtless have had them. In the religious, literary, and social circles they have been conspicuous figures, and have done their part toward the keeping of our city and community morally clean. Mrs. Montgomery in her younger days was an active and conspicuous member of the Women's Union, of this city.
     Their joint services to the Master's cause has been of many years standing of the Presbyterian church and Sunday school, and they have never wavered in fulfilling their every obligation that would advance the cause of this church and Christianity.
     No doubt as the day approached, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery talked over the days of their courtship fifty years before the cabaret, the musical comedies; of the mighty little use of the divorce court, and of the few hasty marriages - marriages then lasted until death do them part. The courtship days of fifty years ago included the straw ride; the huskin' bee; the spelling school; apple pairin' [sic]; school house debate; Sunday buggy or sleigh riding.
     The coming together of the immediate relatives at the home of their only child was a fitting occasion in honor of the many years of prosperous and blessed union that has been the privilege of these two to enjoy and be happy in the reminiscences of the past, and pleasures of the present.
     Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Montgomery conceived the idea of having Father and Mother Montgomery with them on the occasion of their half century of wedded life, and so notified them. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery consequently went to the home of their son, Hi, on the Saturday evening previous, so they would be sure to be on hand to enjoy the occasion, and along with them went Mr. and Mrs. Harry M. Dungan, and of course, we presume the aged couple supposed these two together with the son and family would constitute the guests, but when the wedding day arrived, there arrived also to celebrate with them, Mrs. Ed. Fiegenbaum, of Geneva, Nebraska; Mrs. Henry Fiegenbaum, of Springfield, Nebraska; his brother, Hugh Montgomery and wife, of Mound City; their niece, Mrs. Will McRoberts and husband, of Mound City; Mont. Austin and family, of St. Joseph, and Mrs. Neil Hoblitzell, of Skidmore.
     Every detail looking to the completeness of arrangements for this happy and unusual event was carefully planned and carried out by the son and wife, and with the help of most pleasing environments the whole affair was one that will ever linger a green spot on the mind's tablet.
     An elegant wedding feast was served, and around the table no doubt sat as happy a group of people as ever assembled in any one home at any one time.
     As to what constituted the menu, matters not; but one may be assured it consisted of all the many good things that the bride and groom of 50 years enjoy, carefully studied out, cooked and baked by the hostess and served in a most appetizing way.
     Every detail looking to the happy event was most extraordinary success - successful in detail; in execution; in finis, and Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery have reason to be proud of the successful affair and its perfect surprise as to the coming of the guests.
     While the presents were numerous, the most conspicuous perhaps was a gold-headed cane, from that "boy" of his and his dear wife.
     At the principal table, at which were seated Father and Mother Montgomery, was a miniature roadway reaching from end to end, and along this road were marked the various wedding anniversaries. the home was elaborate in decorations, and liberality shown in the use of the chrysanthemums.
     Their two grandchildren, Miss Frances and Niel [sic], were necessarily absent by reason of being away to school.

          Biographical

     Robert Montgomery's parents were Irish, and Robert insists that he is Irish, too. He was born in Bangor, Ireland, August 9, 1837, and is therefore well on his journey to his 79th milepost, and most remarkably well preserved. At the age of 17 he turned his back to the Emerald Isle, crossed the ocean, landing in New York, January 13, 1854. He went to Jackson, Ohio, where he made his home with an uncle and where he attended school, and clerked in a wholesale store, and also clerked for the Latrobe Iron Furnace Company, and in 1860 went to Greenup county, Kentucky, where he remained a year and then returned to Ohio, and entered the employ of the Keystone Furnace Company.
     In 1861 he returned to Kentucky and assisted in recruiting a company for the Union army at Greenup, and was chosen 2d Lieutenant of Company C, 22d Kentucky Infantry. He was afterwards promoted to Aid-de-Camp on the staff of General Geo. W. Morgan. He resigned this position and was named as the sutler of the 1st Ohio Heavy Artillery.
     He participated in the battle of Pond Gap under General Garfield; at the taking of Cumberland Gap, under General Morgan; Yazoo Bluffs under Sherman and the capture of Arkansas Post.
     On being mustered out of service in 1864, he returned to Ohio, and entered the servive [sic] of the Berkley Iron Works.
     While a resident of Jackson, Ohio, he met Miss Frances White, love, courtship, and this marriage was the result of a golden wedding anniversary Sunday last.
     The bride of fifty years ago was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram W. White, and was born in Londonderry, Ross county, Ohio, March 28, 1841. When a babe of five months her parents located in Jackson, Jackson county, Ohio, where she grew to womanhood, attended the schools of that city and then entered and graduated from the Western Female College, of Oxford, Ohio. At the close of the war, the White family moved to Olney, Illinois.
     It was in Olney, Illinois, at the home of the bride's parents, in the presence of a few of the more intimate friends, on November 14, 1865, that Robert Montgomery and Miss Frances White plighted their faith until death do them part, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. John Crozier, of the Olney Presbyterian church.
     To them was born one son, Hiram W., who was born in Oregon, educated in our schools here, and is now cashier of the Farmers' Bank, of Skidmore, Missouri, of which his father is the president. The son is one of Nodaway county's highly honored and respected citizens, who has inherited much of his father's business acumen. They have four children, two of whom - a son and daughter, are students in the Northwestern College at Evanston, Illinois. As far as known, there is not a single survivor of that wedding excepting the bride and groom.
     Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery were also foster parents to three nieces, whom they educated and developed into splendid and most beautiful womanhood, and they are now married, situated happily - these are Mrs. Ed. Fiegenbaum, of Geneva, Nebraska; Mrs. Henry Fiegenbaum, of Springfield, Nebraska, and Mrs. Harry M. Dungan, of Oregon.
     Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery went to Jackson, Ohio, for their wedding tour of a few weeks, and then returned to Olney, Illinois, where they remained, and where Mr. Montgomery filled various positions, before and after a tour through parts of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri, and a visit here with Dr. Asher Goslin, whom he met at Olney, while the Doctor was a resident at Olney.
     In 1871, Dr. Goslin wrote Mr. Montgomery that James Scott, of this city, desired to dispose of his banking interest, and as Mr. M. had had some experience in that line as an accountant in the First National Bank of Olney, he came here at once, and took over the Scott interest. This was the beginning point in the long and successful business career of Mr. Montgomery, the firm being the Montgomery Banking Company, the company being a Mr. Phillips, of Olney, Illinois.
     In January, 1872, the bank firm began as Zook & Montgomery, which continued to 1875; then Montgomery & Norman. In 1877 it became Montgomery & Roecker. In 1890 Levi Zook and his son, Charles D., became interested in the bank, and in 1895 C. D. Zook took over his father's interest and also took over Mr. Montgomery's stock, who retired from business.
     Thus closed Mr. Montgomery's active business career of 24 years - a career no man need be ashamed.
     During 1903 Mr. Montgomery and his son organized the Farmers' Bank, of Skidmore, Missouri, the former being its president, and the son, H. W. Montgomery, its cashier. It has enjoyed a good business since its organization.
     Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery live a quiet, beautiful life in the old VonLunen home, one of the old historic residences of our city.
     From early life, this couple has been prominently identified with the Presbyterian church and Sunday school, and for 44 years they have been earnest, steadfast helpers in this old historic church. Mr. M. was for 30 years its Sunday school superintendent, and for several years past has been the teacher of the men's Bible class. For thirty years Mrs. M. had charge of the women's Bible class.
     Mr. Montgomery has been a member of our city council, and during the year 1903 was our mayor, having been elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Henry Shutts.
     He is a member of the Oregon lodge, A. F. & A. M., and also a chapter member of the order.
     Mr. Montgomery has only two brothers living: David, of Dayton, Ohio, and Hugh, of Mound City.
     Mrs. Montgomery has only one brother living: Wallace White, of Yankton, South Dakota.
     Many beautiful tokens of love and esteem came to Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery from relative and friends.

In 1865 Joseph and Cornelius engaged in the mercantile business, which they continued some two years and then became interested in the lumber business, in which they have since been engaged. They have a large yard at St. Joseph, Missouri, which Joseph superintends, and Cornelius superintends the other four, situated at Oregon, Forest City, Craig, and Fairfax.
