Montgomery Cemetery is a pioneer cemetery and had its first burial in 1854 according to a survey of Oregon cemeteries conducted in 1977. The cemetery was established on John Zumwalt DLC (donation land claim) and is located 2 miles east of Pedee. As such, it was at times also been known as the Zumwalt Family Cemetery. Several of those buried here were among the early pioneers and pioneer families that arrived in Oregon by wagon train. The cemetery in 2019-2021 had extensive repair and cleaning of headstones which some had not been set upright for 60 years. All of the headstones had to be cleaned. Smaller, flat headstones has sunk into the dirt, some were tilted, and some small flat were too worn to be read.
