The principle town of Upper Loutre twp was Wellsville, laid out by Hon. Carty Wells in 1856, the original owner of the town site and deeded to the RR five acres for the depot and RR purposes".If you are not finding Montgomery in census try Upper Loutre, Wellsville, Prairie twp or Middltown. Good luck
