Biography
From Louise Rochester Pitkin in 1893: "Mrs. [Susan] Thornton's hospitality was proverbial. Next door neighbor to my sister, Mrs. M. E. (Harvey) Montgomery, she was the source of helpfulness in many ways during Mrs. M's. extreme youthfulness as a housekeeper. She married at 16 years of age, going from Dansville to Bath, and always felt unbounded gratitude for Mrs. Thornton's kindness. Mr. Montgomery's two eldest children were born in Bath—William Rochester Montgomery in 1813. He now lives in Hillsdale, Michigan. The second, Sophia Harriet Montgomery, died in her 21st year in this city [Rochester NY]."
