There is a photograph from around 1904/1905 that shows the shows the whole Vancleave family, i.e. William Henry Vancleave, his children, sons-in-law, and grandchildren, in Oklahoma. William Henry was William Bruce’s father-in-law. It looks like the Montgomeries left Indiana with the Vancleaves and eventually wound up in California. Judging by the 1910 census, they lived for a while in New Mexico, too.
