«i»Death of Mrs. F. M. Munroe, Daughter of the Late Samuel Bowles of This City.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bowles Munroe, 43, wife of Frederick Mitchell Munroe and daughter of the late Samuel Bowles of this city, died at her home in Huntington, Long Island, early yesterday morning of pneumonia. She had been ill only since Thursday, suffering at first from a severe cold with muscular rheumatism, and it was not until Monday that the alarming symptoms of pneumonia developed. The funeral will be held in the Episcopal church at Huntington tomorrow afternoon at 3. The body will be cremated and the ashes placed in the Munroe family lot in the Cambridge cemetery.
It is nearly 20 years since Mrs. Munroe departed from Springfield upon her marriage. She left many friends who have not forgotten her, and she made many friends in Brooklyn and Huntington, where her married life has been passed. Her life was rich and full, and notable for the courage, strength and cheerfulness with which she met all demands upon her powers, whether at home or from abroad. She had a rare capacity for intense enjoyment of little pleasures as well as large ones. In her mature years she became keenly alive to her social and civic responsibilities, and in Huntington especially she has been an active and influential factor in the church to which she belonged and the community. It has thus been a life of service as well as of enjoyment, in spite of the ill health against which she has for long years been compelled to struggle. She was a chronic sufferer from asthma, but her ardent spirit never failed to triumph over her physical ills until at last the frail body became worn out.
Mrs. Munroe was the youngest child of her father's family, and was born in the family homestead on Central street (now the MacDuffie school), December 3, 1867. As she grew up into girlhood she attended the Catharine L. Howard school and later spent a year at a private school in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pa., and still later traveled abroad as a part of her education. She was married at the home of her oldest brother on December 24, 1891, and immediately proceeded with her husband to Brooklyn, N. Y., where he was then editor and chief proprietor of the Brooklyn Life. They spent 10 or 12 years after their marriage in Brooklyn and then settled at Huntington, where they had a small farm near that attractive and quiet village. Mrs. Munroe greatly enjoyed the country life, as she was exceedingly fond of Nature and it was no doubt beneficial to her health.
Mrs. Munroe leaves, beside her husband three children, a son of 18, Donald M. Munroe, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Ruth Schermerhorn, 16 and 14, respectively.«/i»

«i»Earl William Ross was the last of the medieval Celtic earls of Ross, of whom the Munros originally held their lands, and whose arms in the 14th century were three lions on a shield which was chargd on the breasts of a red eagle. The eagle had been adopted by the Ross clan to mark Buchan lands they had inherited from the Cummins and it was later added to the heraldic Galley of the Isles by the Macdonald chiefs who had inherited the earldom of Ross. The heraldic description of the armorial bearings is: on a shield or, an eagles's head erased, gules. The crest is an eagle on the perch, proper. Supporters are two eagles, proper.«/i»

«i»George married Mary McDonald but details of his family are vague. Names suggested are Donald, Georgina and Alexander However George left lengthy memoirs, his first memory being of their house built of cabbage tree slabs at Good Dog Mountain, now West Cambewarra, NSW The farm fronted a small creek flowing into Tapitallie Creek. He remembered his parents getting news of the wreck of the Dunbar in 1857 and his mother crying and lamenting the loss of so many lives. At about this time his father sold the farm to Mr Moffit and the family moved to a farm on the Shoalhaven River about 6 km below Bomaderry, and lived there until 1866.
George was sent by his father, when 16, to the Richmond River to help his older brother William who had selected land at Steve King's Plain in 1866. He travelled with relatives and when they got to Sydney, there was no vessel likely to sail to the Richmond for some weeks so decided to go by the Clarence steamer Agnes Irving to Grafton. Then followed a 4 day overland journey to Casino, no road, only mere track. George joined William and began life on the selection which he said "did not appeal, being too young to understand things". Main work for new settlers was to fence as the station cattle were running on open country. There was no barbed wire and a lot of time and hard work went into the post and rail fences. Everything had to be split for humpies and barns. There was no 40 hour week - the days were not long enough. Provisions were hard to get and very often they had to grind corn and mix it with the flour to make it last longer.
After a few weeks on the farm, he had a chance to go to Lismore to play cricket, probably the first match played there. There were very few dwellings and only one hotel. It was a good day with a dance at night in the old Court House. George made his first visit to Coraki in 1867 to go to church. The new settlers had put up a little church and the Rev. Thom held services. .There were no other houses, only Mr Yabsley's further up on the South Arm of the river. This was a busy place, the big shed was finished and they were starting to build the barque "Examiner". George was on the deck when it was launched in 1869.
The cedar getting was in full swing and Mr. Yabsley was cedar king. Cedar was a good price, "the cedar people were the aristocrats of the river and the poor cockeys were nobodies". Cedar getters could get bullocks and rations on credit while the poor settler could not get a bag of flour. Money was very scarce and the nearest bank was at Grafton (100kms). Most payments for timber were done by order writers on an ordinary piece of paper and drawn on Sydney shipping firms. These would pass like notes from one to another and some were dirty and torn that they could hardly be read. In 1869 a lot of maize was planted along the river, but the March 1870 flood spoilt most of it. The water rose very high, came into the house but did not put the fire out.
George, his brother and George Thomas rowed a boat through flood and saw snakes by the thousand, every floating log and bush was full of them, plus rats, mice beetles and spiders. He then went to work at Wyrallah sawmill for 5/- a day humping boards. Prospecting with a friend at Jerusalem Creek followed, but finding nothing, they went to the south beach of Ballina and worked for some time making small wages. Leaving there they went nto North Creek doing clearing and digging cane holes, and George put in the first cane grown on North Creek for the Sharp Bros. who had a small mill at Prospect.
George's next employment was with Mr. E. Ross, a Richmond pioneer, shiipping agent and timber buyer for many firms in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. George had to raft the timber along the river to the waiting vessels and he learned something of navigation on the Richmond and the trouble experienced at the bar. He can remember 38 sailing vessels and 2 steamers anchored at Ballina; some were there for weeks waiting for favourable winds to get across the bar. One job was to ride to Casino with telegrams. There were no roads and he had to go round by Tintenbar, cross the creek, and head for Teven Creek, up Teven mountain, then through scrub all the way to Johnston's ridges. He had to wait for a reply and then start home again.
After the advent of tugs, Mr. Ross could not keep him on and got him a job with Mr. E. Coleman who had a contract for the telegraph line to the Tweed River, over the Night Cap, probably in 1874, the work taking about 5 months. At that time there was good money in cane cutting on the Clarence River so George put up his swag and started for the Clarence, going along the beach to Clarence Heads. He coo-eed for a boatman to take him across the river but was too late at the mill as they had taken on their hands the day before. Later he got a job at Mr Martin's small mill at Alumny Creek. After a short season there, he went cane cutting at Carr's Creek and then to Chatsworth Mill.
When the season finished, he started for the Richmond with a 40lb swag but lost his way, so turned back to the Clarence, it being Christmas Eve. He was famished by the time he reached the first selection where owner Mr. J. Kenny gave him a meal of beef and damper and boiled the billy. He went to the hotel at Chatsworth and found his old friend James M Kenzxie and helped him drive a mob of cattle to the Tweed. Then he had a spell at home. He worked again for Mr. Ross at Ballina, had job of rafting cedar at Brunswick to the heads,where it had to be surfed over the bar to waiting vessels. In 1877 he got a job with Mr. John Sexton who had the contract for a road from Emigrant Creek bridge to Ballina. George did his writing, kept the time sheets and was working foreman, the job taking 2 years. He became very experienced with a 30-ton punt carrying gravel, after making 221 trips.
Then he took a dangerous job punting material for construction of the first lighthouse at Richmond Heads. In the mid 1880's George took a contract to get and square the timber for the first four wharves on the Tweed. Prior to that he had been for a while in the ironbark industry with Bob Pyers at Deep Creek and had learnt the art of girder-making. Worked with WH Wilson getting timber for the Tweed wharves. This meant a few months hard work and many miles of walking looking for timber. The job was done to everyone's satisfaction, and George then went to Uki, and later returned to the Richmond to find things very bad including disease in the cane.
He went to Western Australia in 1895 at the time of the great gold rush at Coogardie, but got nothing except experience in a waterless, fly-infested place. He returned in 1896 and settled at Rowland's Creek. In 1907 he was living at "Bonnie Vale", Tweed River.
OLD SHOALHAVEN (Taken from the Memoirs of George Munr0 1850-1939, written in 1922, and held in the Munro file of the Richmond River Historical Society, Lismore NSW)
What memories the name brings to me where I spent my boyhood days. I claim to be the oldest born native male of Shoalhaven. I was born at Cabbage Tree Flat near Nowra on July 10, 1850, a notable time in the history of the country, turning the sod of the first railway in Australia. My first memory is living in a house built of cabbage tree slabs at a place called Good-Dog Mountain, now West Cambewarra. Our farm was fronting a small creek flowing into Tapitalla Creek. When I was six I remember my parents getting the news of the wreck of the "Dunbar". I did not know much about wrecks but I remember my mother crying and lamenting the loss of so many lives. When I was about seven my father sold the farm to Mr Moffit and we moved to a farm on the river bank about four miles below Bomaderry and there I spent the remainder of my boyhood days until my 16th year when I moved to the Richmond River and I have not been back since and that is sixty years ago. When I was old enough I used to go across the river to play with some boys who lived opposite. At that time there was no Nowra but there was Nowra Hill. I am not sure but I have been told since that this is the aboriginal name for this hill. Mr. Hyam's store and hotel were the furthest out buildings. There was a road running along the ridge which is now the main street of Nowra. We boys used to go up on this ridge to get geebungs and wild flowers especially waratahs which grew there in abundance. It was while living near Bomaderry that the great flood of 1860 happened. To tell of that in full is too much for me so I will only tell what I saw myself. We were taken in boats when the water came into the house on a day not easily forgotten when gale of thunder and lightning was raging. The wind was with us at first but going through the timber, limbs were fallling in all directions, but we got through to Bomaderry safely and went up to Hogan's house near where the Nowra bridge crosses the river now. Other people were there before us and many more came during the night. There was not much sleep that night; we young ones lay on the floor and the older folk sat up and watched the river. The rain cleared during the night and the morning broke clear and we were let out to see the river. The flood was then at its highest, and lo and behold it was a flood. The drift coming down was a wonder to see, houses, barns, several wheat stacks, furniture and all manner of things, and the masses of timber was amazing. I have seen many floods in the three big rivers in the north since then but never one like that.
Times were very bad for a year or two but with the spirit of the pioneers and some help from the Government, they soon improved and in a few years a memory was all that remained of the disaster.
After this Nowra took shape. The flood made it plain Terrara was not a safe place for a town and Nowra was an ideal spot, nothing on the coast to compare with it and so it grew and when I last saw it in in 1867, it was a busy village. I am now living on the lovely Tweed, a gem of the state for richness and scenic beauty. I am one of the very few left who have seen the Tweed in its virgin state. Still with all my life's changes I have never forgotton old Shoalhaven. «/i»

«i»I am researching a Thomas Harper who first shows up in Loudoun County, Virginia, beginning in about 1800 and then about 1805 he moved to Southern Virginia, Pittsylvania County, where in died in 1807. What is interesting is he bought about 600 acres of land and yet finding anything on him prior to 1800 has been very very difficult.

«i»I wanted to let you know of Terrell's death on March 5, 2002. Our ill-fated adventure started after brain surgery for Parkinson's in November 1999. He had the Deep Brain Stimulator (DBS) placed in his brain.
It all back-fired leaving him unable to walk, and to communicate - an astounding and tragic event for him. Even though his responses were limited, he could understand; and his lovable personality showed through to the end. Through determination and great effort, on his part and mine, he made a slight recovery over the two years. Then, several months ago, he was diagnosed with bone cancer where there was no hope for recovery.
The beauty of Terrell's life is that he touched so many lives; and loved every minute of it. He made it so easy for me to love him and to accept the complexities of Parkinson's as just another challenge, as he did.«/i»

«i»Terrell Hill was a people person with a passion for public transit. Combining those traits, he became a driving force behind initial public support for MARTA in Atlanta. Once called the Pied Piper of Mass Transit by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, he was a major player in San Francisco's down-town Market Street Development Project and the Bay Area Rapid Transit Embarcadero station and was a senior manager for the Chicago Transit Authority.
A graduate of Georgia Tech and a native of Columbus, GA, Hill managed the construction of the inter-terminal train system at Atlanta's airport while he was director of the Transportation Division of Smith Hinchman and Grylls. Most recently he was marketing a personal rapid transit system known as CABINTAXI.
In his own words, Hill once said he began life as a pro-highway advocate. however, in San Francisco, he recognized mass transit as an answer to that city's traffic problems which he saw "damaging that precious city". He sold his car in 1969 and began going everywhere by bus and train. He was a convert to mass transit.
Hill moved to Atlanta and became the city's chief proponent of mass transit - along with Atlanta attorney Stell Hule; former Mayer Sam Massell; engineer John Coil; banker Roy Blount and others.
A true believer in his transit work, Hill also possessed a great appreciation for the out-doors and the active life. As a young man, he sailed from Newport Beach, CA, to Tahiti with Georgian Fuller E. Callaway III to compete in the International Trans-Pacific yacht Race. Their sloop, the Morningstar, won the 1961 race. He skied many slopes in the U.S. and abroad.
One of his great relaxations was working in his garden and nurturing the hundred year-old oaks surrounding his home. Even after Parkinson's had disabled him seriously, he hiked with the help of his wife, the former Paula Douglass of Atlanta, far into the forests and mountains of North Carolina where he identified trees and flowering plants for visitors to the area.
He translated this love of the outdoors into sxpressions of his belief in mass transit. "I can plant a tree and please myself because I like trees," he once said. "I can make a park and please more people, perhaps, but I can plan a transit system and please the entire city."

«i»As some of you may know, Dad loved a celebration. In fact, he had a real talent for celebrating - a joie de vive. He celebrated life, and he celebrated the people around him. Which is why he hoped that today we would not be sad or mourn his death but rather would celebrate his living. And we certainly have a lot to celebrate.
About 30 years ago, a friend came up to me and told me how lucky I was to have my dad as a father. He told me that dad was the first adult who ever talked to him like he too was an adult. I came to realize that dad made a lot of people feel that way. He knew how to make those around him feel special. He always had that big hello when you came in the door ... as only dad could do it. I was no longer just Herb - I became Herbert's elixer, or Catherine was Katrinka or Kutchinata, Eric was Eric the Red and mom was Noorah - and then there was alway maroo. God knows how many of us have been called maroo by dad at one time or another. But in this way, we all became larger by him. He made us all feel special.
After that big hello dad would want to know how my corprosities were sagaciating ... if everything was soignee sauce picante mayonnaise bo bo wain (dad's way of speaking French); Then you had to wait for the sun to cross the yard arm, for the officer of the deck to strike eight bells and have a cold beer ... or a wee dram. Of course, behind all the kidding was a father who cared deeply and who always let us know he was there for us and that he loved us.
My dad loved the characters of Damon Runyon because they were larger than life - guys like Harry the Horse, Spanish John and Little Isidore - sitting at Mindy's minding their own business. I'm sure that had Damon Runyon lived long enough he would have come up with a character like dad - Herbie the Hoss, wearing his straw caty, spoutin poetry and hanging out with characters like Harcourt the ape, Nigel the duck, Jim macaroni McMahon, Sweet Sidney Pugh and Billy the kid Scoggin.
Dad believed you had to approach everything in life with passioin. I think he got some of that from his mother. At Mardi Gras you got in constume. At dances, you danced and made sure everyone else got to dance. He was passionate in his opinions of right and wrong and in his politics. We didn't have political discussions at the family dinner table (arguments, yes) but none of us were lacking for strong opinions.
Dad loved every kind of celebration. One of his fondest memories was leading songs at the Sigma Chi house, balanced precariously on the newel post - kept aloft by the singing of his fraternity brothers and by way too many beers. He loved Mardi Gras, he loved birthdays and anniversaries - because celebrations usually meant poetry. Poetry is a thread running through our lives with dad. As children we learned life's lessons by hearing poems like the one by Edwin Markham which dad knew by rote and repeated time and time and time again. That one went:
He drew a circle that shut me out,
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout,
But love and I had wit to win;
We drew a circle that took him in.
Poetry found its way into every nook and cranny of life with dad. You couldn't ask for a knife in our house without him launching into:
Please mother, don't stab father with the bread knife.
Remember, 'twas a gift when you were wed.
But if you must stab father with the bread knife,
Please mother, use another for the bread.
Dad was fortunate that he married a tolerant woman. But he knew that. Even smiling in our house was not without risk, because when - you wore a smile you could see a mile, you risked hearing all of the Cremation of Sam McGee. Where he said "Please close that door" but I'm told this is not the time or place for Sam McGee. Again, dad quoted all these poems from memory. Poetry gave my Dad a voice - a voice for celebrating family milestones; a voice for celebrating his devotion to friends; a voice to express the love he felt for his children and his grandchildren and his love for my mother. His poetry may not be Pulitzer prize material, but it was such a gift from him to all of us.
In keeping with his love of poetry, Dad left me with one final request - to finish this with a poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Tennyson wrote this poem in 1889 several years before he died, but he insisted that it be the final poem in any published collection of his works. Because like dad, he did not want his death to be mourned, he wanted his living to be celebrated.
Crossing the Bar
By Alfred Lord Tennyson
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
but such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew out from the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may take me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crosst the bar.«/i»

«i»Isn't it amazing how much of Dad you see in Herb. That's a wonderful thing - very comforting to me
In the last ten days I've had two speeding tickets, I've run out of gas, and I've run my new car into a steel beam. Aside from that, I've got everything under control.
This last week - with the whole family of five together - it was precious for all of us. Dad was lucid most of the time, if a little subdued, and Catherine commented, "It was like he was boiled down to his essence - the things about him we loved the most."
On Saturday night, he shared a dream with us, which was something he'd never done before, about his father George driving around in a sports car with a big shock of red hair flying in the breeze, looking to have some fun and maybe get into a little mischief with his friend Willie Henderson. It was a dream inspired by a conversation he had with Sam Labouisse a couple of days before. Sam remembered that George had one of the area's first "air cooled" automobiles and he loved putting the "pedal to the metal". Dad smiled broadly as he related his dream, and it seemed somehow to have reunited him with his father whom he respected so deeply.
Later that same night we read dad a poem by Eugene Field that was one of his favoriees. It's a poem his mother used to read to him. When dad was five years old, he had his tonsils taken out, and he vividly recalled his stay in the hospital. his mother would visit him, and he would eat ice cream while she recited poetry. He had her full attention and she had his. It was a joyful memory. This little poem helps me remember both of them - and their rare dedication to the spirit of youth:
In an ocean way out yonder (As all sapient people know),
Is the land of Wonder-Wander, where the children love to go;
It's their playing, romping, swinging, that give great joy to me
While the Dinkey-Bird goes singing in the amfalula tree!
For the Dinkey-Bird's bravuras and staccato's are so sweet --
His roulades, appoggiaturas, and robustos so complete,
That the youth of every nation -- be they near or far away --
Have especial delectation in that gladsome roundelay.
Their eyes grow bright and brighter, their lungs begin to crow,
Their hearts get light and lighter, and their cheeks are all aglow;
For an echo cometh bringing the news to all and me,
That the Dinkey Bird is singing in the amfalula tree.
I'm sure you'd like to go there to see your feathered friend --
And so many goodies grow there you would like to comprehend!
Speed, little dreams, your winging to that land across the sea
Where the Dinkey-Bird is singing in the amfalula tree!«/i»

«i»Long before Alexandria Mounding and Farley Windows came to town, the Munro and McIntosh sleigh and carriage company dominated Alexandria's manufacturing sector for more than 40 years.
There's no trace of the old factory, which was built in 1880 and used to be located on the corner of St. George St. and Main. But the memory of the business will live on thanks to a nearby plaque that was installed by the Glengarry Historical Society (GHS) and unveiled on SDG 34 across the street from Glengarry District High School.
Though the age of the automobile spelled the end of Munro and McIntosh, the company still saw amazing growth during the time it was here. In 1900, it made about a thousand buggies a year. Just before the First World War, it had a state of the art production line, a workforce of more than 200, and produced more than 10,000 sleighs and carriages a year.
The firm's founders were farm boys and cousins from the Apple Hill and Glen Roy area - blacksmith turned salesman Hugh Munro (1852-1939) and wheelwright and plant manager John D. McIntosh (1858-1914).«/i»

«i»Victor G. Monroe
Victor G. Monroe was quite a remarkable man. Physically, at 89 he was spry and active until almost the very end. Mentally, he had a quick, keen mind. Spiritually, he helped found a church. It is hard to beat that list.
And as to public service, few communities have many who are as busy. It will be difficult for a whole host of people around here to become accustomed to not seeing him or reading about his activities.«/i»
