Moved to Morning Pointe in January 2014. Mary Montgomery was born in a small coal mining town, Dugger, Indiana. She graduated from Linton High School and then attended a business school where she learned standard type, shorthand and how to use a calculator machine. Mary grew up during the Great Depression and worked for food and shelter as a "hard girl" after her parents divorced when she was 10 years old. Mary's first job, at age 18, was at the Real Silk Hosiery Factory where she remembers earning $0.10 an hour; there she worked 10 hour days. After she got married, Mary had three children, a daughter and two adopted children. After working at the factory, Mary got a job in Indianapolis at the Eli LIlly Pharmacy where she worked as a secretary. The company asked Mary if she would be willing to move to Cuba to assist with opening a branch. Mary remembers ordering there and was shocked when the waiter placed in front of her a bowl of soup with two chicken feet sticking out. Mary decided that she would not move to Cuba for several reasons, including the food and the political unrest. Mary lived in New Orleans, working at a department store decorating shop and then in Florida where she worked for Tropicana. After her husband passed away she and her daughter moved to Kentucky where she worked until she was 90 years old.
