Notes |
- When Alice was a little girl, an old Indian and his little girl stopped at the Munro home. Alice had a doll that the two girls played with. The they left, the little Indian girl secretly tollk Alice's doll. When the old Chief discovered his daughter had the doll, they walked back from Chesaning and returned it to Alice. The doll was later in the possession of the descendants of Alice's sister, Catherine.
Alice liked to go out early in the morning to the Maple River and sit there all day and fish. Someone had to take her a picnic lunch because she didn't want to leave long enough to eat.
The following is a note written in 1941 by Alice's daughter, Carrie:
Chester and Emmeline Munro settled on 160 acres in Maple Grove Township, Saginaw County, Michigan in the year 1854 with one son Clark (William Clark) who was born in 1853 in Oakland County. The land was purchased a year or two before they came to stay permanently in 1854. The eldest daughter, Alice Margaret Munro was born 11 Aug 1856; Jenny in 1861. In all eleven children were born to this pioneer couple - two of whom died in infancy.
Other settlers about that time were Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Bull, Parents of Mrs. Munro and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Robinson, sister of Mrs. Munro.
A road had to be cut from what was then known as Parmalees Corners (2 miles north of New Lothrop) to Munro's farm 3 miles west. Mr. Munro was Maple Grove's first Township Clerk.
Alice and Horace were farmers and always resided on their farm except for two years they lived in Owosso. In 1908 they bought a farm northwest of Oakley, Michigan.
They were members of the Methodist Church. When Alice died, she was living her daughter, Carrie and Ben Rolfe on their farm west of Juddville, Michigan.
