Harold Montgomery
A Harold Montgomery, Sr. (April 19, 1911 – December 17, 1995), was an agricultural businessman and a Louisiana state senator, who is remembered as an outspoken conservative within his state's dominant Democratic Party. He represented District 36 -- Bossier and Webster parishes and, later, part of Bienville Parish—in three nonconsecutive terms in the Senate, 1960–1968 and 1972–1976.〔Arthur McEnany, senior analyst and law librarian of Louisiana Senate, "Membership in the Louisiana Senate, 1880-2004"〕

As with the "S" in Harry S. Truman, the "A" in A Harold Montgomery stood for nothing. Montgomery was born in Humble, near Houston in Harris County, Texas, to Alley C. and Martha Belle Montgomery. He was one of eight children who moved in 1921 with their parents to tiny Linton in Bossier Parish. The Montgomerys then relocated to Benton, the parish seat, so that the children could receive a better education. He graduated from Benton High School, and with the help of a loan from an older sister, he attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where he received Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in agriculture. His graduate studies were at the University of Colorado at Boulder.〔Obituary of Harold Montgomery, Sr., ''The Shreveport Times'', December 18, 1995〕
Montgomery taught agriculture at Haughton High School in Haughton in Bossier Parish east of Shreveport. At that time he met Azalee Wilson (1902–1985), the postmistress at Haughton. After three years in Haughton, Montgomery moved to Ruston, the seat of Lincoln Parish, where he taught vocational agriculture at Ruston High School. He received many honors for his teaching abilities and his love and dedication for his students. He was also known to paddle recalcitrant boys.〔 In 1955, Montgomery attended the White House Conference on Education.〔''Minden Herald'' and ''Webster Review'', December 8, 1955.〕
While he was teaching in Ruston, Montgomery became aware that the area needed a feed store to supply his farmer friends. He used his savings to rent a building on West Mississippi Avenue in Ruston that became "Montgomery's Feed and Seed".〔
