[Harrison County]  [Claysville Precinct]

THOS. A. MONTGOMERY, farmer, P. O. Claysville; was born Feb. 15, 1850,
and is the son of James Montgomery, a native of Dauphin County, Pa., who
was the owner and successful manager of a leading woolen-mill; he was
born in 1806, living to the age of fifty-six years.  One year after his
death his son, Thos. A., moved to Harrison County, Ky., and there studied
for an education until 1871, when he bought a farm of 177 acres upon
which he raises the principal produce as corn, wheat, rye and tobacco,
and at one time made the breeding of hogs a specialty.  In 1877 he was
married to Fannie Curran, who has borne him two children: James M., now
being three years old and Thomas W., two years old.  Mr. M. [sic] is a
Democrat; he is a member of the Masonic Lodge of Claysville, No. 243,
and is now holding the office of Secretary.  Though a young man, he has
taken more than an active part in the local affairs, and, by his business
habits and integrity, is one esteemed by the citizens in this community.
