JAMES MONTGOMERY
James Montgomery came in the spring of 1854, and settled on section 14, where O.B. Brown now lives. He built a cabin and made some improvements, but after staying a short time, he removed to Bates county, Missouri, where he died during the time of the war. He was a native of Kentucky, and came here from Illinois.
