My Genealogy Hound

Dr. Samuel Benson Montgomery, a prominent physician and surgeon of Cynthiana, was born in Gibson county, Indiana, July 6, 1874. He was the youngest child of Jesse M. and Lemira (Benson) Montgomery. He was raised on a farm, completed the common school course and graduated from the Owensville High School in 1892. He attended Wabash College one year and then entered the University Medical College at Louisville, graduating in 1898. He practiced one year at Poseyville, three years at St. Wendel, and then located in 1902 at Cynthiana, where he still resides and enjoys a lucrative practice. He is a member of the County, State and American Medical Associations. He belongs to the Christian church. Dr. Montgomery is of French extraction, tracing his ancestry back to the Tenth century, to the Count of Alencon in Normany, descendants of whom are found in England, Scotland, Holland and America. It is from those that settled in Scotland and Ireland that we have the American line and the antecedents of our subject. In September, 1898, Dr. Montgomery was married to Miss Eva L. Boyle, daughter of Henry and Tilda (McReynolds) Boyle, both native Hoosiers, the father of Vanderburg county and the mother of Posey. They have two children, Mary Lena and Dorothy Mae.
