MONTGOMERY, William B., missionary, born in Danville, Pennsylvania, about 1790; died in Union Station, Kansas, 17 August, 1834. He was a member of the first missionary family that was sent by the United foreign missionary society to the Osage Indians of the Missouri, and left Pittsburg for his field of labor in April, 1821. After four months of tedious journeying on Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri, and osage rivers, he reached his destination. He devoted his time largely to acquiring a knowledge of the Osage language and reducing it to writing. In the spring of 1833 he completed an elementary book that contained translations of various passages of Scripture. This was the first work written in the Osage language, and was published in Boston after his death.
