Early life[edit]

Montague was born on July 30, 1813, in Hadley, Massachusetts. Montague moved to Michigan in 1835.[1][2]

On November 8, 1854, Montague was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives where he represented the Kalamazoo County 2nd district from January 3, 1855, to December 31, 1856.
