(The following is from the "Clan Munro Magazine" - NO. 26, 2012 - "Sir Charles Munro - The Ninth Baronet" - by Hector Munro of Foulis)
«i»It was well known in Ross-shire and beyond that in 1776 Sir Harry Munro of Foulis, 7th Baronet, after gathering in much (an estimated 36,000 acres) of the ancient Munro lands previously conveyed or leased out under the old system of wadsets and tacks, had drawn up a Deed of Entail, not only detailing who exactly was to succeed to Foulis and in what order of precedence"...For support and continuance of my family and name..." commencing with his own sons Hugh and George and lawful, (i.e. legitimate) heirs male of their bodies, whom failing (lawful) heirs female etc. This was followed by a list of the male members of the leading Munro cadet families, starting with Culcairn and follwed by Culrain, Novar, Fyrish, Achany, Teaninich and Auchenbowie, whom failing the females of the same, but also severely restricting heirs and successors from selling or burdening the Estate with debt.
«/i»**********
Harry (or Henry) was educated in Dr. Philip Doddridge's famous academy at Northampton. In 1737, his tutor there was the Rev. Gilbert Robertson, who later became the minister of Kincardine. His classical learning was started at Westminster School and completed at the University of Leiden in Holland, which had long been used by Scottish students and scholars. Sir Harry was known as the Scholar Chief.
In 1746, Sir Harry Munro succeeded his father and became 25th Baron and 7th Baronet of Foulis.
He served as a Member of Parliament uninterruptedly from 1746 to 1761, first for Ross-shire (1746-1747) and then for the Wick Burghs (1747-1761).
He built the present Foulis Castle in the Dutch mode to replace the older castle which burned in 1750. The old castle was described in an old Gaelic poem as "castle gaunt-peaked, the eagle's nest".
On 13 Jan 1758, he married Anne Rose, the daughter of Hugh Rose of Kilravock by his second wife, Jane (Rose).
On 28 Jun 1776, he entailed all his estates by a deed signed at Ardullie on that date. This entail was in favor of certain female as well as male heirs, and therefore was responsible for much litigation and expenditure at a later period in the history of the family.
For nearly thirty years he devoted his leisure hours to a critical work upon Buchanan's "Psalms of David," which he finished and left ready for the press at his death. During his lifetime he submitted the manuscript to the examination of Thomas Ruddiman, whose reputation as a Latinist and careful editor of Buchanan's "Opera Omnia," then stood high in Scotland. Ruddiman was very well pleased with it, highly praised it, and paid the handsomest compliments to Sir Harry's classical knowledge and critical ability, as shown by a letter of several pages long that he wrote. From this it is apparent that Sir Harry was entitled to the reputation which he had for distinguished attainments in Latin literature.
He died on 12 Jun 1781, at Edinburgh, where he had gone for the benefit of his health. He was interred in Grey Friar's church-yard, about thirty yards southwest of the church, and contiguous to the burying-ground of the Monros of Achenbowie. Sixty-seven years afterwards, his grand-daughter, Mary Seymour Munro of Fowlis, erected a tombstone to his memory with the following inscription:
"SIR HARRY MUNRO, BART. 1848. This tablet is placed here by Mary Seymour Munro of Fowlis, as a tribute of respect to the memory of her grandfather, Sir Harry Munro, Baronet. who died in Edinburgh on the 12th of June, 1781, and was buried here."
He was succeeded by his second and elder surviving son, Hugh Munro.

«i»Foulis Castle ... was accidently burned down in 1750 after having been garrisoned for the government and suffering at the hands of the Jacobites in two uprisings. It was completely rebuilt by Sir harry Munro, 7th Baronet. The term "castle" is used in the sense of "chateau" and the structure itself was called "a mighty fine house" by a visitor in 1762. It does boast a four-story tower and was the first house in county Ross to be assisted financially on the recommendation of the Historic Buildings Council for Scotland. «/i»

(The following is from the "Clan Munro Magazine" - NO. 26, 2012 - "Sir Charles Munro - The Ninth Baronet" - by Hector Munro of Foulis)
«i»Sir Charles was born on 20th May 1795, the eldest son of the immpoverished George Munro of Culrain and lineal descendant of General Sir George Munro, K.B. of Newmore, third son of Colonel John Munro, II of Obsdale. Colonel John was the son of George Munro, fourth son of Rober Mor Munro of Foulis (d. 1588) by his second wife, Catherine Ross of Balnagown. It was this relatively distant connection to the House of Foulis which ultimately led to Charles becoming nearest direct male heir and thus clan chief in 1848 and successor to Foulis the following year.«/i»
«i»He was educated in Edinburgh, and entered the British army as ensign in the 45th Regiment. He served under the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsular Campaign from 1810, when aged only 16, to the conclusion of the war in 1815. Charles was accompanied to Portugal by Alexander Munro, son of the minister in Edderton, Ross-shire, who remained there after the war, married an Irish girl, and became the progenitor of many families of Munro descent in that country.«/i»
«i»Charles was slightly wounded at the storming of Badajoz and was awarded a medal with seven clasps - for Rodrigo (18th January 1812), Badajoz (6th April 1812), Salamanca (22nd July 1812), Nove (13th December 1813), Orthes (17th February 1814) and Toulouse (10th Apr 1814). This medal still hangs below his portrait in Foulis Castle.«/i»
«i»The 29th edition (1867) of Burke's Peerage and Baronetage states that Charles served in the war of independence in South America, commanded the 1st Regiment of English lancers, in the service of Venezuela in 1817 and in 1818, served under the celebrated patriot General Simon Bolivar as a general in the Colombian army at the battle of Agnotmar, when the Spanish army surrendered.«/i»
«i»Charles was involved in recruiting men for an enterprise under the auspices of the Venezuelan agent Luis Lopez Mendez, and, no doubt, as a young soldier on half-pay in May 1817, kicking his heels after years of active service, he would have been keen to get involved. Two people with the name Munro (there is some evidence the other may have been Charles's father, George) can be found in connection with a unit named 2nd Hussars of Venezuela, which sailed on board a ship the «u»Indian«/u», from Portsmouth on the 30th November, 1817, and which days later sank off Ushant with the loss of all aboard.«/i»
«i»Amongst those who were mustered aboard on the 22nd November were the two Munros and a Captain George Elsom. For some reason, perhaps unsure of her seaworthiness, the three disembarked and survived. One of the Munros undoubtedly was Charles, for in a letter written to his son many years later, he recalls how he and Elsom, after the loss of the «u»Indian«/u», made efforts to reform the 2nd Hussars. Elsom duly sailed again, apparently sent ahead by Charles, who was now referred to as a 'Colonel' and, having reached South America and approached Bolivar, received permission from him to bring out an expedition. Elsom returned to London in August 1818, but Charles withdrew from this project and joined with another adventurer, MacGregor, who was busy raising a vast expedition for del Real, the agent of the independent forces Nueva Granada.«/i»
«i»MacGregor appointed "Colonel Charles Munro of his 1st Light Infantry to the command of the 1st Division of the Army of Independent Government of Nueva Granada and the transports Monarch, Onyx and Petersburg and others (then lying in the Thames) till their arrival at the rendezvous." But it was MacGregor alone who sailed down the Thames on 17th November 1818. About this time, there seems to have been a dispute between del Real and Lopez Mendez who declared publicly that del Real had no authority whatsoever.«/i»
«i»This could have influenced Charles, for three days later 'Colonel' Charles Munro wrote a note to the Venezuelan agent Mendez: "...In consequence of Colonel Munro being satisfied that Brigadier General MacGregor acts without the authority of any government of South America, he has decided to withdraw from this unauthorised military adventure and join the United Provinces of Venezuela and Nueva Granada under Bolivar and Lopez Mendez." He goes on to say that he would use his utmost efforts to bring the merchants engaged by MacGregor to act for Lopez Mendez, and, in return, asked that Lopez Mendez agree to his formation of a unit of 500 men and if possible to provide arms and clothing; but that seems to have been the end of his involvement with any South American expedition.«/i»
«i»As for Charles' claim that he fought at the battle of Agnotmar, it seems most unlikely. Burke's appears to be the only reference to him ever having reached South America, details no doubt supplied to them by Charles himself. A recognised authority on the participation of the British contingent in Bolivar's army is on record as stating there is no such place in South America, nor is there any resemblance to it among the places where the Spanish forces were defeated by Bolivar's Colombian army. We will see later that Charles developed a penchant for self-aggrandisement, and this may be why he appears to have spun a yarn.«/i»
«i»Charles married his first wife, Amelia, daughter of Frederick Browne, Bandmaster of the 14th Light Dragoons, on 20th June, 1817 in Dublin. She bore him at least eight children, six sons and two daughters.«/i»
«i»Charles' father, George as a minor, had been cheated out of his rightful inheritance, the 15,000 acre Culrain estate, by Sir Hector Munro of Novar who, after acting as a trustee, obtained permission from his fellow trustees to resign and then proceeded to purchase the estate from them, for what was considered the wholly inadequate sum of £5,000 (modern-day equivalent of £500,000), in a blatant breech of faith. Undoubtedly, the young Charles was brought up on tales of this outrage, which must have had a profound influence on the father and the son's actions later in life, when they saw the possibility of succeeding to the greater prize of Foulis Estate and the Chieftainship of the Clan.
It was well known in Ross-shire and beyond that in 1776 Sir Harry Munro of Foulis, 7th Baronet, after gathering in much (an estimated 36,000 acres) of the ancient Munro lands previously conveyed or leased out under the old system of wadsets and tacks, had drawn up a Deed of Entail, not only detailing who exactly was to succeed to Foulis and in what order of precedence"...For support and continuance of my family and name..." commencing with his own sons Hugh and George and lawful, (i.e. legitimate) heirs male of their bodies, whom failing (lawful) heirs female etc. This was followed by a list of the male members of the leading Munro cadet families, starting with Culcairn and follwed by Culrain, Novar, Fyrish, Achany, Teaninich and Auchenbowie, whom failing the females of the same, but also severely restricting heirs and successors from selling or burdening the Estate with debt.«/i»
«i»
Sir Hugh, Sir Harry's sole surviving son and successor, had only one daughter, Mary Seymour, who was born out of wedlock on 14th May 1796. He had subsequently married her mother, Jane Law, in London in 1801. But Jane had been tragically drowned in the Cromarty Firth, just below Foulis Castle, in 1803, and with the absence of any furthermarriage by Sir Hugh, doubts were naturally raised as to Mary's legitimacy.
Rumours circulated in the North that not only might Mary be illegitimate, but also that Sir Hugh might not even be her father. To quell these once and for all, in 1816 Sir Hugh raised an action against Duncan Munro of Culcairn, the supposed instigator of the rumours and the next in line to succeed. So commenced the great lawsuit to test Mary's legitimacy which was to cripple Foulis for generations to come.«/i»
«i»The cost of defending this particular round of legal action appears to have been shared by the three cadets most likely to benefit, Culrain, Culcairn and Fyrish, although Culcairn and Fyrish were later reimbursed. The legal action continued on and off until 1820, in which year Duncan Munro of Culcairn died without leaving a male heir, but with his death the expectations of both Charles and his father, George Munro of Culrain and now next in line, were considerably raised.«/i»
«i»In 1826, in order to secure his daughter's position further, Sir Hugh sought legal confirmation of his rights as proprietor of Foulis Estate, but was opposed in this by George Munro of Culrain and others. With the absence of any male heirs of Sir Hugh, succession to the Nova Scotia baronetcy was not in any doubt. With only male heirs eligible to succeed, the title and estate would be separated on Sir Hugh's death, the baronetcy and chieftainship of the clan going to the landless George Munro of Culrain and the estate to Mary«/i».
«i»But if doubts of Mary's legitimacy remained, the estate also might go to the Culrains. It was, therefore, felt prudent to prove beyond doubt that Mary was lawful heiress to Foulis and that this would be easier to achieve during her father Sir Hugh's lifetime. So, in 1831, Mary Seymour raised an action against all those who had a right to succeed, one after the other, in terms of her grandfather Sir Harry's entail.«/i»
«i»In the same year, Charles was introduced to solicitors Smith and Kinnear, who agreed to act for him if he granted a Trust Disposition of his future interest of Foulis Estate as security. This he did in 1833. It was not until 1837 that the Lords Ordinary of the Court of Session in Edinburgh finally found against Mary. This judgement was immediately appealed to the House of Lords and reversed by them on 10th August 1840 -- thus finally securing under Sots law that Mary was legitimate and the rightful heiress to Foulis.«/i»
«i»On 5th September 1843, Charles was arrested and thrown into the County Gaol of Surrey. It is clear from the Balance Sheet produced in the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors on 30th November of that year, that Charles and his father George had, from about September 1829 onwards, been issuing Promissory Notes and granting Bonds to all and sundry, payable on the death of Sir Hugh and in case of their succeeding as heirs of his entail.«/i»
«i»
In his submission, besides making wild claims, no doubt in an attempt to impress the English court, Charles said that he and his father were not only next in succession to Sir Hugh, but also to Lord Ankerville (Ross) and Sir Hector Munro of Novar. To cap it all, Charles ended by stating that he and his father were next heirs to the forfeited earldom of Ross, which title he might one day have restored to to himself along with the present Crown Lands of Scotland!
The aggregate amount of Charle's debts in the schedule came to a staggering £78,110 14s 6d (approximate modern-day equivalent of £5,530,000) out of which Charles said he had only received £3,063 2s 0d mainly in the form of legal services. In 1839, Charles had granted Smith & Kinnear a bond for £3,000 (approximate modern-day equivalent of £198,000) to pay for the action in the Court of Session, and there were other debts as well.«/i»
«i»In the end, Mary's was a Pyrrhic victory. For by the time she succeeded to Foulis on the death of her father in May 1848, the castle had been emptied of furniture and the property shorn of all the beautiful woods which once adorned it, cut down by her father to help fund his legal expenses and purposely to run down the estate. By January 1849, less than a year after her father, Mary, too was dead. Her principal protagonist, Charle's father George Munro of Culrain, himself did not live to see his family succeed to Foulis, for he died in Edinburgh on 19th December 1845. So, in 1849, it was Charles who succeeded to both the baronetcy and the impoverished estate.
It had all been futile and pointless. The cost to both sides of such a lengthy litigation was enormous; it had continued on and off for 24 years. The virtually penniless Culrains funded their legal expenses by granting their lawyers bonds of ever-increasing amounts over Foulis, on the growing expectation they would eventually succeed.
«/i»**********
Charles was born on 20 May 1795, and was educated at Edinburgh. He entered the British army as Ensign in the 45th Regiment, and served with much distinction under the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsular Campaign from 1810 to the conclusion of the war in 1815. In the General Orders of Madrid, the Duke of Wellington described Sir Charles as "one of the bravest officers in the British army." He was badly wounded as one of the "forlorn hope" at the storming of Badajoz.
As an acknowledgement of his distinguished services he was awarded a medal with six clasps--for Rodrigo (18 Jan 1812), Badajoz (6 Apr 1812), Salamanca (22 Jul 1812), Nive (13 Dec 1813), Orthes (17 Feb 1814) and Toulouse (10 Apr 1814).
He also served in the War of Independence in South America, and in 1817 commanded the 1st Regiment of English Lancers in the service of Venezuela. In 1818 he commanded a division in the Columbian army under the celebrated patriot, General Simon Bolivar. He fought at the head of his division at the decisive battle of Agnotmar, when the Spanish Army surrendered to Bolivar liberating South America from Spanish control.
On 20 Jun 1817, Sir Charles married Amelia Browne, the daughter of Frederick Browne of the 14th Light Dragoons. Sir Charles was a Captain in the army at the time.
On Mary Seymour Munro's death in 1849, the estates as well as the title and the representation of the clan and family passed to Charles Munro, eldest son of George Munro of Culcairn and Culrain, lineal descendant of General Sir George Munro, K.B., of Newmore, third son of Sir Robert, 21st Baron, and 3rd Baronet of Foulis. Charles became the 27th Baron and 9th Baronet of Foulis.
Lady Munro died on 14 Sep 1849, and was interred in Kensal Green Cemetery. On 14 Jan 1853, Sir Charles remarried. His second wife was Harriette Midgley, the daughter of Robert Midgley, Essington, Yorkshire. Charles and Harriette had no children.
Sir Charles died 12 Jul 1886 when he was 92 years old, at Southport, England, where he had lived for several years. He was buried at Southport. Lady Munro survived him for only five days. She died at the same place on 17 Jul 1886 at the age of 78 years and was buried in the same grave as her husband.
He was succeeded by his eldest son, Charles.

«i»Henry passed into the arms of the angels on January 18, 2013, at the age of 82. A deeply religious man, he devoted himself to his faith and family. Henry leaves behind a legacy of a life well lived.
He was born April 26, 1930, and grew up in Wenatchee, Washington. He was the eldest of six children born to Henry H. Munro and Mildred Janes Munro. In his youth, he achieved both Eagle Boy Scout and Eagle Sea Scout awards, and later volunteered years of leadership in the Boy Scouts. He led skill classes, fishing and camping expeditions, as well as Boy Scout organization efforts. His love of the outdoors continued throughout his lifetime and was evident in his work and his wildly, exuberant love of fishing. He met the love of his life, Vallena, at Wenatchee High School. After spending months frightening his brothers by burning the candle at both ends with employment and courtship, he came to his senses and proposed to Vallena.
Henry was a master builder and owner of Munro Custom Homes, building luxury homes and commercial buildings throughout the Columbia River Valley. His favorite building moment was holding his 14-foot story stick and shouting at the owners "OK... now, where do you want your front door?" He'd eyeball where they pointed and then proceed to ticking off 10 - 20 mysterious chalk marks on the stick - footings, basement, ring joist, this layer and that. Then, he'd call in the diggers and lay out his favorite part of the building, the basement, which would be true, strong, smooth, and exactly the right depth to keep the front door at ground level (with no steps). After retiring from home building, Henry threw his energy into Munro and Son Orchard in Orondo, Washington in 1990. Additionally for may years he volunteered in the Orondo Fire District #4 as a fireman, a commissioner, and a volunteer contractor to build their Firehouse #4.
Henry was born in direct lineage from the Chiefs of Clan Munro of Foulis. In 1997, he received a Matriculation of Personal Arms (direct blood descendant) from the Lord Lyon Court in Scotland. With the support of Vallena, he was very active in Clan Munro gatherings and games. He served as a Board Member and then President of the Clan Munro Association USA, Inc. he and his family made multiple journeys to Scotland to support his Clan. He loved wearing his kilt, hosting the Munro Tent at gatherings and games in Arizona and Washington, and proudly displaying his personal Arms flag.
Henry was married for 63 years and is survived by his loving wife, one son, Henry Michael Munro; three daughters, Susan Munro Towne, Deborah Munro Ortis and Frances Munro; five grandchildren; multiple great-grandchildren; and extended family. According to his daughter, Susan, Henry will be adored, remembered and missed forever.

Andrew Munro in Coul, litster, learned the dyeing trade in Holland with his brother, Hugh. After the Revolution, they won an army contract.
He settled at Coul in Alness parish in 1716. He was probably the compiler or sponsor of a genealogy showing his family's descent from Hugh Munro of Coul [2763].
His second wife, Kate, was the daughter of John Beaton of Culnaskeath. Andrew and Kate had three daughters in addition to the children listed.
Ref: The Munro Tree (1734) - M/52
Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/52
"Robert of Ardullie married Isobell daughter to Alexr. Ross of pitkery by whom he had Alexr. James Hugh Andrew in Coul litster and Robert and a daughter Janet married to Teanard."
"...Andrew m 1 Ann Ogg and had Alexander and James then Kate Beaton dr of John of Culnaskeath and had John, Robert, Hector, William, Hugh and 3 drs..."
Andrew joined his brother, Hugh, in Holland to learn the textile dyeing trade. When they secured King William's contract for dyeing the cloth for army uniforms, they returned to Edinburgh.
Later, Andrew returned to his native county of Ross and settled for a few years at Contin. From there he moved to Balintraid, Kilmuir-Easter, and then to Delny and then to Aldie, near Tain. In about May 1716, he moved to Coul, near Alness.
He was an elder in the Alness church during part of the ministry of Rev. Daniel Mackillican. At a meeting of the Presbytery of Dingwall on 24 Apr 1717, it was reported that the congregation had chosen Andrew, ruling elder, to represent the the Parish at the next meeting of the Synod of Ross.
For several years he acted as factor for Albert Munro of Ferrytown and Coul.
It is believed that Andrew was the author of the Coul Munro manuscript, a valuable genealogical document.

«b»«i»Ian Angus Michael Munro CD Captain (ret'd)
«/b»Born March 14, 1952 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK - Dies September 19, 2013 in Mississauga, suddenly of a heart attack.
Ian is survived by his wife Susan, daughter Heather, son John Angus, mother Margery, and brother John. Ias was predeceased by his father Elton Ernest (Ernie) Munro, on 24th December 2000, a WWII British 8th Army veteran, who served post-war in the RCAF and The Department of External Afairs. Son-in-law to Margo and Andy Kopil of Gatineau. Brother-in-law to Danny Kopil of Gatineau and Bridget McDonough (Daniel Nakonecznyj) of Toronto.
From his early teen years Ian was involved with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets: first as a Cadet WO1 for 173 Squadron in Trenton, then as a Captain at 51 Ottawa Optimist Squadron and finally as a Director of the Ontario Provincial Committee of the Air Cadet League of Canada, where he was an enthusiastic supporter of the glider program. His gaining a full pilot's licence at the age of 17 is testament to his love of flying. his love of flying also led him to be a volunteer at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton. ON.
For over three decades he was a member of the Clan Munro Association of Canada (CMAC), and was the President of the Association at the time of his death. For this work, Ian was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal this year. Since 2006 Ian was also the Chair of Clans and Scottish Societies of Canada (CASSOC). While living in Ottawa he had been a member of the Kemptville Legion Pipe Band playing the snare and bass drum in many parades. Since the 1970s, Ian was a member of the Ottawa Optimist Club and the Air Force Association of Canada.
Ian was an expert on security matters and worked for many years in that capacity with the fegeral government, for the National Museums of Canada and later in the Ontario Public Service.
There is to be no visitation or funeral. There will be a memorial service to celebrate Ian's life on Saturday, October 5th, in Ian's parish, Saint Thomas à Becket Anglican Church, in Mississauga, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. There will also be a second memorial service in Ottawa, Saturday November 9th. In lieu of flowers please make donations to The Arthritis Society and The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.
Everyone who knew Ian appreciated and loved his great wit, his kind heart, his superb sense of humour, his care for his family and friends, his constant stories alongside a heartfelt dedication to his community, cadets and all things Scottish and Canadian.
As Ian would say, "Slàinte maith, h-uile latha, na chi 'snach fhaic! (Good health every day, whether I see you or not!)"
Rest eternal grant to him, O Lord: and let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.«/i»

«i»MONROE, John Lee, 58, passed away on Monday, July 30, 2012, after sudden heart failure at work on Friday, July 27.
John served the Department of Defense (DoD) for more than 20 years at Defense General Supply Center Richmond, and most recently as an inventory management specialist at the Defense Logistics Aviation office, supporting the DoD Ozone Depleting Substances Reserve and serving all branches of the U.S. military.
A graduate of Douglas Southall Freeman High School and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (now Virginia Tech), John had many interests, from gardening and environmental protection to the science of the universe, but most especially his Celtic heritage, and could trace his ancestry and quote Gaelic songs and poetry. He was a lifetime member in the USA and international (Scottish) Clan Munro organizations, the members of which will mourn his loss at their annual gathering later this month in Boston.
John was predeceased by his twin brother, Robert G. Monroe; and his father, William T. Monroe Sr.; and is survived by his mother, Corinne A. Monroe of Richmond; brother, William T. Monroe Jr. of Gulfport, Miss. (June); sister, Diana L. Monroe of Richmond; and extended family, Lois and Lewis Ackert of San Jose, Calif., Shirley Hitchcock of Saugerties, N.Y., Mark Monroe (Patti) of Fairfax, Va., Lorna Dodt (Robert) of Annandale, Va., James Hitchcock of Harmony, N.C., William T. Monroe III (Joy) of Saucier, Miss., and Robert G. Monroe of Alexandria, La. He will be sorely missed by his family of co-workers at the Defense Logistics Aviation office and many lifelong friends.
Interment will be private; however, a celebration of John's life will be held at a later date at the Parham Chapel of Woody Funeral Home.
Our world is dimmer without this gentle giant, and condolences may be left at www.woodyfuneralhome parham.com«u» «/u». In lieu of flowers or other gifts, the family suggests that contributions be made to John's alma mater, Virginia Tech.«/i»

Following is an extract from the "Forres, Elgin & Nairn Gazette" of 16 Jul 1884.
"Dunphail -- A Local Gardener Abroad.-- An American paper given a full description and a woodcut of the gardens at Evergreen Lodge, Clarksville, which are under the entire supervision of Mr. James Munro, from this district. Mr. Munro began his career as a gardener at Dunphail House, then occupied by the late Major Cumming Bruce, M.P. for the county of Moray. Mr. Munro's taste for gardening found a wider shpere in the establishment of Messrs Dickson & Sons, Edinburgh, but his ability for scientific horticulture was chiefly acquired while engaged in the Royal botanic Gardens in Edinburgh, under the instruction of Professor Balfour, a clebrated scientific botanist. He was also employed in the Gardens at Darnaway belonging to the Earl of Moray, and afterwards held responsible positions in some of the most famous English nurseries. After referring to the many beauties of the gardens under Mr. Munro's supervision and the ability with which they were conducted, the writer says--"Mr. Munro differs only in one respect from the celebrated gardeners of Scotland, who are, as a general rule, the most crabbed race of mortals in existence. Munro on the contrary is the best natured, courteous, and obliging gardener we have ever known--and so the ladies find who make Evergreen Lodge their favourite summer evening resort." His numerous friends will be glad to hear of his success."

Frank wrote a series of articles that were published in the Santa Fe Magazine. The following is an introduction to this series written by the editor of the magazine.
Fifty years ago on March 8, 1881, the Santa Fe track was completed to Deming, N.M., and a connection was made with the Southern Pacific Railroad at 5:30 p.m. on that day for points in Arizona and California. Frank C. Monroe, the venerable writer of the interesting series, "Reminiscences of the Santa Fe Frontier," which begins in this issue, was connected with the company from 1880 to 1888, his father being one of the original contractors engaged in building the road across the western mountains and plains. He wrote these articles in the belief that they would be appreciated by the old-timers still in the service or on the pension roll, and also "to show the chronic kickers we have with us always that the lot now before them is not half so hard at they imagine it to be." We heartily recommend this series of articles to our readers. -- The Editors
