  • From Goodspeed's Biographies of Wayne County, Tenn.: John F. Montague, one of Wayne County's prominent farmers and stock raisers, was born in that county July 13, 1851. He was educated in the Clifton Masonic Academy, in Wayne County, and when about eighteen years of age he and his brother, William Y., began keeping drugs in Clifton. In 1871 he sold out that business and commenced the study of law, and graduated from the Cumberland University in 1873. He then located at Waynesboro, and practiced his profession with much success until 1883, when he abandoned his his legal practice and moved on his present farm of 600 acres. About 150 acres of land are in a fine state of cultivation. Besides this property he is owner of a fine tract of bottom land on the Tennessee River, in Hardin County. He has given considerable attention to stock raising since locating on his farm, and owing to his industrious habits and good business qualifications, has acquired a fine patrimony. He belongs to the Democratic party and F. & A. M. fraternity. To his marriage with Joanna Hassell, in 1875, the following children were born: Amos H., Mary Anna E., Edna C., Frank and Joanna. Mr Montague is of French descent.
