Notes:

The following obituary is from an Oneida newspaper dated 22 Jun 1936.

"Anthony B. Munroe, 75, banker here for more than half a century and one of the most widely known residents in this section, died suddenly early Sunday morning in his home, 406 Broad Street. He suffered a heart attack Saturday morning.

Entering the banking field while still in his teens, Mr. Munroe was first associated with the Oneida Savings bank. After the death of his father, Loring Munroe, who founded the Farmers and Merchants bank, he became head of that institution until it went out of existence many years ago.

Becoming a stockholder in the Oneida Valley National bank, he was later named a trustee and then president. He held the latter position until he resigned about four year ago to become chairman of the board of directors of the bank, which office he held at his death.

Always interested in the civic welfare of the city, altho never aspiring to any political office, Mr. Munroe was instrumental in bringing about many public improvements and was prime mover for erection of the present nurses home of the Broad Stret Hospital.

Active in the affairs of the first Presbyterian church, he had been a trustee for 25 years. Born March 13, 1861 at Bernhard's Bay, Oneida Lake, a son of Loring and Jane Munroe, he had resided in this city for about 59 years. For some time he conducted a clothing store in Madison Street, but the major part of his life was spent in banking circles.

Mr. Munroe was a member of Oneida Lodge 767 Elks, and a director of the Oneida Savings Bank as well as many other local organizations..."

Notes:

Loring lived in Bernhard's Bay and on Broad Street in Oneida, New York.

Loring left Ashburnham, Massachusetts when he was twenty years old and settled in Cleveland, New York. There he became interested in the manufacture of glass, in which he was to become successful. For several years he owned an interest in the American Glass Company at Bernhard's Bay. He and his father-in-law, George Cowarden owned the Dunbarton Glass Works in Dunbarton, New York. Dunbarton was a village that once stood on the Erie Canal between State Bridge and Higginsville, but which later disappeared. About 1861, after Mr. Cowarden's death, Loring became sole owner of the Glass Works. His sons also assisted in the operation of the company.

In about 1877, Loring moved to Broad Street in Oneida, Madison County, New York where he was a trustee of the Oneida Savings Bank and an active member of the banking house of Barnes, Stark and Munroe. He was very interested in the prosperity of the town as evidenced by the Munroe Block, and of the Opera House of which he was a joint owner with Mr. Barnes. He also donated the means to build the Munroe Memorial Chapel at the Glenwood cemetery. He occupied several positions of trust and was held in high esteem by his associates. He erected the building that housed the Farmers & Merchants Bank of which he was president. He represented the old town of Lenox in the County Board of Supervisors.
