- Record #20 in the Burnt Bay, Notre Dame Bay Methodist Marriage Register - Alexander Munroe age 29, bachelor, Lumberman, of Indian Arm, Father's name - Alexander Munroe, married Julia Pelley, age 22, spinster, of Indian Arm, father's name Moses Pelley on 3 Mar 1892 by Henry Whitmore.
Julia and Alex lived at Apsey Cove, Campbellton in the early years of their marriage. Alex obtained a grant from the government to 19 acres there in 1893. Effie later recalled living there:
"Where Jack, Will and I were born, was called Apsey Cove, and a pretty cove it was. I have a map of it and the size, not very large, but a natural spring. It became Indian Arm and I suppose now, Campbellton. Father had this lot surveyed and mind you recorded in Saint John's. I asked (brother) Will how he got it to St. John's and he said it must have been by dog sleigh".
It appears that Alex and Julia moved their family from Campbellton to Glenwood between 1897 and 1900. The reason for the move probably had to do with the arrival of the cross-island railway in Glenwood about 1895, and the establishment of a major sawmill there by Lewis Miller in 1900-1901. Located where the Lower Gander River exits Gander Lake, Glenwood would have been viewed as a good place to live if one was working in the woods industry.
