• Notes

  ********** (The following is from "Descendants of John Munro" - by W. M. Roeser) «i»Hector L. Monroe was born on 10 Sep 1879 in Davisburg, Michigan. He moved with his family to Pontiac, Michigan in 1887 when his father, Harvey G. Monroe was made superintendent of construction of the municipal water works, and then appointed City Engineer and Superintendent of the Water Works on 14 Apr 1883. Heck and the family lived on the second floor of the fire barns until the family moved to 68 Norton Avenue. He obtained a part time job with the department in 1897 installing water meters and flushing water hydrants, then a full time job in 1901, and was elevated to the position of superintendent in 1910 when his father died. He retired in 1950 after 52 years of service; but he was frequently consulted regarding questions related to where various lines, pipes, etc. were located as his memory was far superior to any department maps. He married Ines Lewis on 8 Jun 1904. They initially resided at 73 Pine Grove Avenue, and then at 236 State Street. Heck died on 6 Mar 1963 of pneumonia after sustaining a fractured hip. Heck loved fishing and hunting and spent many weeks at his cottage on Lake Masshagamme, Ontario, Canada.«/i» ********** References: (1) Clan Munro files - Roeser, Douglas Lee - Direct Descendants of Abel Monroe - undated Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA
