Notes:

Richard "Dick: Montgomery went east to study art at Boston Academy. He later decided he could not make a living in "fine art" so he went into graphic arts and instead became an engraver. He and wife Rose lived their entire married life in suberbs of Boston. It was great fun to visit them as they loved taking people around to historical sights. When Ira Perry Hinman and wife, Florence with youngest Betty visited them in 1924, they were able to see so much of the area with Dick's guidance. One memorable thing for four year old Betty was being led by the hand around the Boston Museum with Uncle Dick describing each artist. The impression upon the child never ceased.

It was Richard, named after the General Richard Montgomery, who visited Tornoto and met his Aunt Jerusha. Aunt Rose said the elderly matron was taken with her nephew as he so resembled his grandfather, also named Richard. She shared many stories with them on several visits and put into his care some articles that dealt with the Montgomery families of the United Empire Loyalists, of which Aunt Jerusha Montgomery Cadieux was a proud member.
