  • Notes 
    • The son of John Montgomery, the "rebel", Dr. Wilmot Montgomery is known for his own achievements. He was only ten years of age when the Rebellion broke out, at which time he and his cousin, Abraham Willson were the only persons in the old hotel, the "Sickle and Sheaf" owned by his father, when the first cannon shot came through his home, cutting down the three chimneys. The two lads stood viewing the scnee from one of the upper windows; they thought it mere sport until a second shot entered the wing. They were soon removed by friends. After the Rebellion closed and his father made his escape to the United States, his family joined him in Rochester, N.Y. Here our subject attended the Collegiate Institute until 1843, when the family returned to Toronto. He entered the private medical school taught by the late Dr. John Rolph; where he graduated in 1847. During his medical course he was offered by a vote of his class the position ofDemonstrator of Anatomy, which he accepted. After completeing his education, he practiced at Sutton Village Ontario for twenty-five years. In 1872, he removed to Bell Ewart, Simcoe County, where he remained until 1877, when he recevied the appointment of assistant in the Kingston Insane Asylum, whre he remained for five years. " In 1882, he was transferred to the Hamilton Insane Asulum, where he at present resides. In politics he has always been a strong Reformer. His first wife was Josephine Gorham, of the city of New York, Sencond, Elizabeth Anderson, of Hawick, Scotland; his third, Charlotte, daughter of William Jones, Esq. of Kinston, Ontario. He has four sons and three daughters." (Taken from a "Biographical Notice on the City of Toronto" published about 1885.
