    Doctor Munroe had an extended practice reaching into the adjoining towns. He made call upon call among his patients at a time when sickness was exceptionally prevalent for three successive days without rest or sleep until the unusual exertion brought on the brief illness which resulted in his death at an early age.

    Joseph and Azuba had several other children who are not listed.

    Joseph's gravestone says he died 2 Feb 1798 - age 41.
