• 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..."
