The 1880 census of Calcasciu Parish, Louisiana lists William as a farmer.
The following letter was found at Centenary College which is listed as the holder of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, LA Conference Archives:
"To the Bishop and members of the 40th Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South to be held at Baton Rouge Jan 6th 1886.
Dear Fathers and Bretheren,
William Monroe having been for five yers consecutively a local preacher and having been duly examined by the Quarterly Conference of Spring Creek Circuit of Alexandiria District of the Louisiana Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Is hereby recommended as a suitable person to be ordained Deacon.
Signed in behalf of said Quarterly Conference. W.W. Cornell P. E." (One of William's children was given the middle name of Cornell - Marshall Cornell Monroe - born 1894.)
On the back of the letter it was signed William Wrightman Monroe. Also where his name appeared in the body of the letter someone had inserted "Wrightman" above his name.

After his death, the following obituary appeared in a local newspaper:
Rev. W. W. Monroe, was born 4 Jul 1855 in Talladega County, Alabama and died 16 Feb 1903 near Hillsboro, Hill County, Texas. In the fall of 1865 his father Rev. John Monroe moved to Louisiana. He was married 6 Sep 1874 to Miss Margaret Wells to whom were born nine children, eight of whom live to mourn their loss. He was converted in 1872 and licensed to exhort in the M. E. Church, South, in 1876 by Elder Cobb. He was licensed to preach in 1879 by Rev. J. D. Harper and was ordained deacon in 1886 at Baton Rouge by Bishop Keener. He never joined the Conference, but always assisted his pastor, besides keeping up from one to three regular appointments; also served as a supply on the Hemphill circuit one year. He died of congestion of the bowels caused by a complication of liver and kidney troubles. Everything was done that medical skill could do, yet his illness was very brief. He realized his condition and among his last words were expressions of his readiness to go at God's command, and said to his sorrowing wife, "Weep not; it is the Lord's will. God will take care of you."
