"Joseph A. Montgomery was born at Dorchester, Massachusetts April 1, 1820. When twenty-three years of age, he took up his residence in the City of Boston and engaged in business there. Boston was his home for four years, and when he left there in 1847 he came out to Columbus, Ohio and took a position with the Ohio Tool Company. He was one of that corporation's most capable workers and managers, from 1847 to 1861. He then resigned in order to enter the business of manufacturing ax handles.
"About the time the Sandusky Tool Company was organized in 1869, he came to Sandusky to take the position of superintendent, and he remained as the executive manager of that large local industry for a period of thirty years. He was the inventor of many labor saving machines now in use in the plane department of the tool company. He also invented other wood working machines, some of which have materially expedited the turning out of many articles manufactured of wood. Joseph A. Montgomery was for many years affiliated with the Excelsior Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Columbus."
