MENZO V. MONTNEY.
Menzo V. Montney is the son of Winslow
B. and Carrie (Robinson) Montney,
and was born on the 25th of May, 1883. He
was, at the early age of seven years, deprived
of his father, who died at the early age of
thirty-two years, and from that time on he,
with his sister Nina, made their home with
their grandparents, Capt. Charles and Char-
lotte (Sperry) Montney, by whom he was
carefully reared, and at whose hands he was
given a good practical education. At the
outbreak of the Spanish-American war he
determined to enlist for military service and
went to Detroit for that purpose, but was
refused on account of his youthful age and
size. Not discouraged, he went to Virginia
and was there successful in being accepted
for service, being assigned to the Third Vir-
ginia Regiment. He did not see any very
active service, however, as he was on a trans-
port en route to Cuba when news came of
the termination of hostilities. Being hon-
orably discharged from the volunteer serv-
ice, he, six months later, enlisted in the
United States marine service and was as
signed to the "Wisconsin,'' on which he
served as orderly sergeant. After a brief
service on this boat he was transferred to
the Philippine Islands, making the trip on
the "Solace." He is now stationed at Cavite,
belonging to the army of occupation.
When the late President McKinley attended
the launching of the "Ohio" at Mare Island
the subject was honored by being chosen as
a member of the reception committee. His
portrait, which appears on another page,
will doubtless be appreciated by many of his
old friends in the community in which he
resides in St. Clair county.
