EDWARD EPHRAIM MONTAGUE: (from a single sheet found in Sep 1989 in the files and in the handwriting of Vivian E. Haines): I, Edward Ephraim Montague, was born April 1st 1866 at Payson, Utah Co, Utah. My parents, Levi West Montague and Elizabeth Ursula Graves Montague. My father was a shoe maker by trade and had his business in Salt Lake City, I understand, in the ZCMI block. (He) had six men working for him, doing well, but Brigham Young called him with others to go and settle Payson - not being a farmer did not do so well, but stayed in Payson until I was three weeks old then moved to Provo City, Utah, where they lived until they passed away É (Dictated to me by father. He wished me to write more but we never got at it again - s/Vivian. NOTES: Death also listed as 27 Dec 1874
