My father was John Munroe, a half blood Piegan Indian, enrolled at Blackfoot Agency as No. 173. My father died August 12, 1908.
My father's father was Hugh Munroe, a white man, now deceased.
My father's mother was Fox Woman, a full blood Piegan Indian now deceased.
My mother was Isabelle Calder Munroe, now deceased. I know nothing of my mother's antecedants or her relatives.

My grandparents, Hugh Munroe and Fox Woman, were married in the Indian country about 1823, and traveled with the Piegan Indians all over the Buffalo country and in what is now the Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the State of Montana. My father, John Munroe, was born near Fort Benton, Montana.
I was born near Edmonton, Canada, in the year 1867. When I was two years of age I was sent to school at High Bluffs, Manitoba; after leaving school I traveled back and forth between the Provinces of Canada and the state of Montana. I was in Montana in 1887, from there I went back to Canada and stayed there until about the year 1900 when I returned to the Blackfoot Indian Reservation, Montana, and have lived here ever since. Just before I returned to the Blackfoot Reservation I recieved word from Major Mauger, who was then Indian Agent at Blackfoor Indian Agency, Montana, that it was desired that all that had tickets coming on the reservation should come there to live, and that he wanted me to come on the reservation at once.
I have in my possession an old ration monthly draft which shows that I and my wife, with two children, drew rations from the ration stores, and in the third quarter beef. This ticket shows that my family number was ___.
I was married on August 28, 1887 to Mary Virginia Poktt, my present wife, at Calgary, Alberta.
