The following is an obituary of Simon from a Chase, Rice County, Kansas newspaper:
Thursday, July XX, 1913
"SIMON P. MONROE
"Simon P. Monroe was born July 18, 1829 in Banner [should be Barren] county, Ky.
"He was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in in [sic] August 1839.
"He moved to Macon, Ill. in 8151 [Macon County, Illinois in 1851].
"Was married to Elizabeth Wright [daughter of David Wright and Amelia Crews. Simon was first cousin to Amelia Crews so he and Elizabeth were first cousins, once removed.] January 3, 1853. To this union were born six children, five of whom are living.
"He was licensed to preach in July, 1861, after which he was ordained a local elder.
"He came to Kansas in Octover, 1873, where he remained until his death, July 10, 1913, in Chase, Kan.
"Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Sunday at 11 a.m., conducted by Rev. W. L. Davies. This church was crowed to its capacity by friends of the deceased brother. The body was laid away in the Lyons cemetery.
"Few men live in a county forty years and retain the love and esteem of his fellowmen as did Rev. Monroe. His life was a rebuke to sin and an example of what God can do for a man.
"As a pioneer preacher, Rev. Monroe probably performed more marriage ceremonies, and preached a larger number of funerals than any man in Rice county. In some instances he united in marriage members of the same family of two generations.
"He was known as respected by practically every family of early day settlers in Rice county, as well as by the younger generation. His was indeed a long and useful life, and the good seeds sown by him will go on bearing fruit as the years go by, even after the time shall have come when memories of Brother Monroe are known only to a few of the older people."
