WORLD WAR I
Son of William Joseph and Annie Stackhouse Montgomery. Thomas married Christine Waggaman on May 9, 1925.
"Thomas Carlisle Montgomery was born on September 14, 1889 in Marion, South Carolina, the son of William Joseph and Annie Stackhouse Montgomery. In the 1900 U.S. Federal Census he is 10-years-old living in Marion with his father William (49) an attorney-at-law, his mother Annie S. (42), and his siblings: Annie M (20) a photographer; Bell W (18); Kate S. (14) and John K. (3). Also living with them are two boarders, one of whom is his uncle Walter F. Stackhouse, an attorney. The 1910 U.S. Federal Census appears to list him twice. On April 20 Thomas C. Montgomery is living in a boarding house in Laurens, South Carolina, which is run by Robert and Mary Copland. They have four boarders all of whom are male grade school teachers in their early twenties. On 26 April 1910 Carl Montgomery (Thomas Carlisle) 21, a college teacher, is living in Marion with his parents, W. Joseph (58) a lawyer and Annie (52), his younger brother Kenley (13), and his sisters Mabel (31), Belle (29) a college teacher, and Kate (24) a music teacher. Laurens is 194 miles from Marion so it is possible that he lived and taught in Laurens, but happened to be home on a visit at the time of the Marion census.
T. C. Montgomery graduated from Harvard Law School circa 1915. He registered for the World War I draft at Spartanburg, South Carolina. He was 27 and living at the YMCA in Spartanburg. He lists his occupation as an attorney at law for the U.S. Government, ORT (Officers Reserve Training) Camp, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Some research has shown than Spartanburg was one of 16 divisional cantonments for the training of National Guard troops when the United States entered World War I in 1917. Many of South Carolina's troops were trained there as well as many from New York state. Furthermore, Camp McLean located at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia was the site of a crash training program for officers during World War I. He was one of the first Army officers sent to France where he was attached to the Headquarters Detachment, Rents Requisition Claims Service, District of Paris, Army Service Corps. He was discharged as a captain and was awarded the French Legion of Honor.
His engagement to Christine Waggaman was described as follows: "Miss Waggaman Engagement Announced - Popular leader in younger set will marry Thomas Carlisle Montgomery of D.C. and South Carolina. Wedding will take place in early May." In a letter dated March 8, 1925 Annette Ives writes "Christine's marriage will be the ninth of May. Everyone is full of enthusiasm... He is in real estate, has not made much, but he has a car and presumably according to Gr. Chris, quite sufficient to marry on. Christine will continue to work. No babies are in the program until the fall when she will stop work. Monty then will have paid his widowed mother for his Harvard law education, which he is not using apparently. Ennals Berl, whose judgment I respect, is keen about Monty whom he knew at Harvard and in the army abroad..." At noon on May 9th, 1925 Thomas C. Montgomery married Christine Waggaman "in the home of the bride's mother at 1811 Twenty-fourth street... An informal breakfast followed... Mr. John K. Montgomery, brother of the bridegroom, was the best man." Another source reports that "Mrs. Montgomery (Monty's mother) wore a costume of black." and continues: "Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery departed later for a two weeks' trip. They will live for the summer at the home of the bride's aunt Mrs. John F. Waggaman, at 1712 R street, as Mrs. Waggaman will leave Washington shortly to open her country home on the South River near Annapolis." Monty went to work for the Waggaman-Brawner Investment Corporation and in the 1930 U.S. Federal Census he is listed as an Investment Banker, Investment Securities. He is 40-years-old, living with his wife Christine W. age 37. Thomas C. and Christine Waggaman were the parents of one child, Christine Anne born in Arlington, Virginia on December 30, 1933. In 1942 he joined the banking firm of Ferris & Company where he became a partner in charge of institutional affairs and in 1947 was the president of the Washington Stock Exchange.
Christine Waggaman died February 10, 1956 at her home in Arlington and Monty died on January 23, 1960 at Arlington Hospital after a year's illness. They are both buried at Arlington National Cemetery."
