Kenneth Monroe

Notes:

Kenneth was born in Ross-shire, Scotland. He and Isabella were married there in 1857 and emigrated to the USA in the same year, where they settled in Elmira, New York. In 1860, they moved to Cooper County, Missouri.

During the Civil War, Kenneth served in the Confederate Army in "Jackman Brigade of Shelby's Division."

In 1867, he moved to Vernon County and bought a large tract of land near Bronaugh, where he lived until about 1910. Then he moved to Nevada, Missouri. He had many friends there and was active in Democratic politics.

He died of Bright's Disease at his home in Nevada, Missouri at 4:05 p.m. on 12 Feb 1921. He had been confined to his bed for only seven days.

Ref. (2) says he died on 12 Feb 1921 and ref. (3) says Feb 1926. It is thought that the former is correct.
