The family moved from Lowell to Freeport, Michigan, shortly before Emily Ida Herbert Montague's death in 1900; George Lehman worked for the Lowell Cutter Factory which made buggies and managed the factory in Freeport. The family later returned to Lowell where George was a foreman in the cutter factory there.
