By 1850, the Montague family consisted of Julius, 55, Hannah, 47, Esther, 6, David Oren, 4, and John F., 2. In that year they moved from New York to Buchanan, buying land in the Moccasin Bluff area (Section 23 of Buchanan Twp.). Many years later, Ester wrote to the editor of the Berrien County Record, relating observations about Buchanan in the 1850’s. Some of these are included in The Story of Buchanan, a History, published by the Berrien County Historical Association. After three years of hard work, making a farm of the land he had bought, Julius died suddenly one day. Hannah still owned the farm at Moccasin Bluff in 1873. John and Oren stayed in the Buchanan area, but after teaching for several years, Esther (Winch) left the area at the time of her marriage in 1868.
