    Notes 
    • Charles Albert Montgomery was known as "Bert." He was employed all his working life by Western Electric Co. He was one of the early efficiency experts trained by the company to do "time-study" work for factory workers. Edwin Montgomery also worked at Western Electric but appears not to have gone up as high in supervisory positions. "Bert" was an intense man, who like his father had a hot temper. It appears all the children took more after their father in being quite volitile. Mary Haehnel was extremely docile and a loving spouse and mother.
      Bert's hobby was antique books. He did a lot of reading at the Newberry Library in Chicago where he uncovered many reference books concerning the Montgomery family. In December 1935, he listed many books and described some of the contents. He mentions his uncle, Nathn Montgomery in Potosky, Michigan in regard to he and his father having "bit on fabled Montgomery fortune." He says he recalls around 1890-1900 hearing his father talk about it and how it appeared in the Chicago papers. A letter written in 1935 to the American Cousular Service in Dublin by Richard Arthur Montgomery, a younger son of David R. was answered by the Consul General regarding the estate of Alexander Montgomery of Ballileck, County Monahan who died in 1722. It makes me think that the family did have dreams of a rich inheritance as so many Montgomery families did based upon so many wild stories. It certainly served to interest many in learning more about the family's history. The results of much of their reseach was passed down to me after the death of Charles Albert & Richard Arthur Montgomery in 1950's and 1960's.
