55312 George was born in Alabama in 1858. His father moved the family to Louisiana in 1865, when George was about 7. He grew up on his father's farm, attending country schools at Sugartown and Hineston.

He served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the American Civil War.

The following is from "History of Louisiana", by Chambers - vol III - p. 99 (published by the American Historical Society Inc. Chicago & New York 1925)

Through a long peoriod of forty years Dr. George M. Monroe has been active in the work of the medical profession. His home is at Glenmora in Rapides Parish, and in that locality his name stands for the highest standards of professional and civic ability.

He was born in Alabama in 1858 son of John A. and Sara (Levi) Monroe, his father a native of North Carolina, and his mother Maryland. The grandparents of Doctor Monroe were natives of Scotland. John A. lived in Alabama for thirty years, coming to Louisiana in 1865, and followed the trade of a tailor, also was a farmer and planter and for a number of years a local minister of the Methodist Church.

He served four years in the American Civil War, being a second lieutenant. He was a democrat in politics. Of eleven children only two are now living, George M. and Jefferson Davis. The latter is a truck farmer at Tioga, Louisiana.

George grew up on his father's farm, attended country schools at Sugartown and Hineston, and from the age of 19 was entirely dependent upon his own exertions. He earned the money that put him through the Alabama Medical College at Mobile, from which he graduated in 1884. For eight years he practiced in Rapides Parish, and then for five years was engaged in the work of his profession in New Mexico. On returning to Louisiana he took a post graduate course in Tulane University during 1897-98, and in the latter year located at Glenmore, where for a quarter of a century he has been busy in a general practice. More recently he has been limiting his practice, the great amount of riding and driving having entailed heavy demands upon his health and strength. He has been local railway surgeon for a number of years and is a member of the Railway Surgeons Association.

Doctor Monroe married, in 1889, Miss Martha Thielemann, a native of Sugartown, Louisiana. Seven children were born to their marriage and five are now living: Ada, wife of E. O. Pringle, a merchant at Glenmora; Harold L., a railway clerk at Portland, Arkansas; Mildred, wife of Homer C. Lee, a lawyer at Dallas, Texas; Gladys, a school teacher; and Grace at home.

Dr. Monroe has taken a prominent part in Masonry, being affiliated with the Lodge, the Royal Arch Chapter, the Council, the Scottish Rite Consistory and the Shrine, and has served in the offices of master, high priest and thrice illustrious master. Both he and his wife are members of the Eastern Star, and he is a democrat in politics. During his residence in New Mexico, he served a term as county commissioner.

In 1880, he was working as a school teacher in Sugartown, Louisiana and living with his sister, Catherine. He put himself through medical school graduating from the Alabama Medical College in Mobile, Alabama in 1884 or 1885.

After graduation, he practiced medicine for eight years in Elmer, Louisiana (population 22 when he arrived) and Rapides Parish, Louisiana. In 1887, he married Martha Thielemann. One descendant, Lonnie Elaine Monroe, has stated that all of their children were adopted, but that is not believed to be true.

In about 1892, the family moved to Eddie, New Mexico (later named Carlsbad), where George continued his profession and served a term as county commissioner.




On returning to Louisiana, he took a post graduate course at Tulane University during 1897-98, and in the latter year he was one of the first to settle in Glenmora, Louisiana, where he farmed for a time but for many years he had a very busy general practice there. It is said that he always kept a carriage ready or a horse saddled, night and day, in case he was called out on a medical emergency. He also served as the local railway surgeon for a number of years and was a member of the Railway Surgeons Association.

George was one of the first settlers in Glenmora, Louisiana and in addition to his medical practice, he did some farming. He was a member of the Methodist Church, and was a Democrat by politics.

On 20 Apr 1889, George bought land in Rapides Parish for $150. He bought more land on 9 May 1899 for $400, on which he was restricted "from the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquers except for medical purposes." On 9 Apr 1903, he sold some land to J. D. Stalsby. He sold more land on 26 Sep 1904, and on 9 Aug 1913.

Doctor Monroe took a prominent part in Masonry. He was initiated at the Glenmora Masonic Lodge Number 356 on 18 May 1912. He was affiliated with the Arch Chapter, the Council, the Scottish Rite Consistory and the Shrine. He served in the offices of master, high priest and was three times the illustrious master. Both he and his wife were members of the Eastern Star. On 29 May 1913 he gave the building that became Glenmore Lodge #356 F&AM, however, he leased the downstairs offices for the sum of $1 for 99 years. He called it the lawyer story of the lodge building.

While he was practicing medicine, George would get up every morning and harness up his horse and buggy for the day just in case someone needed him in a hurry. then at night he would saddle up his horse and put him in a stall. Doctors traveled a lot in those days.

On 26 Jan 1947, George and his wife walked to church as they did every Sunday. As the service was being dismissed that evening, the couple were standing. Elmer Melder was standing behind him and saw him go down. Elmer helped to get Dr. Monroe up, but he was dead.

George lived most of his life in Glenmora, Louisiana where his name stood for the highest standards of professional and civic ability.

55338 George was called a "homesteader". It would appear very probable that he homesteaded land in the Goldonna area or perhaps it was the custom at that time to call anyone that cleared new land a "homesteader". His holdings in his old age were divided between his youngest son, Steven Lafitte Monroe and Steven lafitte's brother-in law, James Isom Conley. Steven Lafitte's brother, George Columbus Monroe's eldest son, George W. Monroe lived on the adjacent property. George Ervin's great grandson's Erve and Elton Monroe, Tilmon Monroe's sons, eventually owned most of the land that passed to Steven Lafitte.

George had tax receipts from Laurel, Mississippi and Goldonna, Louisiana for the year 1871 in his papers.

He was very religious in his old age. He would call his grandson, Itrel, to him, place his hand on the boy's head, pray for him and announce that Itrel would serve the Lord by becoming a great preacher. Itrel became a Baptist preacher upon graduating from Louisiana College.

I. George Monro, third son of George Monro, IV. of Milntown, was the first of this family. He studied for the Church at the University of Aberdeen, and was on the 21st of December, 1570, while still a student, presented by James VI. to the Chaplainry of Newmore, "with provision that he continue his study quhilk he be able to administrat the Word of God." In this office he succeeded Hector, second son of Hector Munro, seventeenth Baron of Fowlis, when the latter succeeded his brother, Robert Munro, as nineteenth Baron and became the first Baronet of the family.

The rental of the Chaplainry at the Reformation, as given in by George Monro, was as follows:--"Newmoir extendis to xii bollis small custumis aitis; item, four martis, four muttounis; iiii do pultrie; item, to xvi merkis money; the quhilk rentall was set to the said George in assedatioun be umquhill John Bissatt, Chaplane for this tyme present for the sowme of xxx ilb. money allanarlie." ("Book of Assumptions.")

On the 5th of July, 1571, James VI. presented George to the Chancellory of Ross. On his promotion to this more important and lucrative office, James granted the Chaplainry of Newmore to George, the Chancellor's nephew, and eldest son of Andrew Monro, V. of Milntown, "in support of his sustentatioun at the scoles" for a period of seven years. ("Orig. Par. Scot.," vol. ii., pp. 419, 421, 422.)

In 1573 Roderick Mackenzie, I. of Redcastle, was put to the horn at the instance of Chancellor George Monro, who complained to the Privy council that "Rory, brother to Colin Mackenzie of Kintail, having continual residence in the steeple of the Chanonry of Ross, which he caused big not only to oppress the country with masterful reef, sorning, and daily oppression, but also for suppressing of the Word of God which was always preached in the said Kirk before his entry thereto--but is now become a filthy sty and den of thieves--has masterfully and violently, with great force of oppressors, come to the tenants indebted in payment to the said Mr George, and feft them in all and haill the fruits of his benefice." The Chancellor complains further "that through fear of his life the oppressor compels him to refrain from discharging the duties of the vocation to which God had called him." The document has been already given at length under Robert Mor Munro, fifteenth Baron of Fowlis.

In 1585 James VI. confirmed a charter granted by George Munro, as Chancellor of Ross, with consent of Alexander Hepburn, Bishop of Ross, the Dean, and the Canons, to John Robertson, Treasurer of Ross, and Elizabeth Baillie his wife, and their heirs, with remainder to John's heirs whomsoever, of the Chancellor's manse, with the houses and buildings, both built and to be built, and the garden and croft of the same, lying contiguously in the Chanonry of Ross.

Among the entries in the Register of the Privy Council, during the minority of James VI. are the following bonds of caution relating to Chancellor George Monro:--"Edinburgh, May 3, 1586.--Caution in 500 merks by Mr David Calmers, as principal, and Alexander Hepburn of Quhitsum, as surety, that Mr George Monro, Chancellor of Ross, his wife, bairns, tennants, and persons addettit in payment of the fruits and duties of the said benefice, shall be harmless, in their persons, lands, and goods, of the said Mr David." "Edinburgh, May 5, 1586.--Caution in 1000 merks by John Irving of Kynnock, as principal, and David Vaus, in Leith, as surety, the Mr George Monro, Chancellor of Ross, his wife, bairns, tennants, and persons addettit in payment of the fruits of his said benefice, shall be harmless of the said principal, in their bodies and goods; Colin Mackenzie of Kintaill and the said John Irving becoming bound to relieve David Vaus of the premisses. Subscribed at Leith, 5th of May, before these witnesses; Mr Murdo Murcheson, parson of Lochalshe; Alexander Mackenzie, parson of Garloch; John MacCulloch, servitor of the said Colin; John Vaus, son and apparent heir of the said David Vaus; William Irving, messenger; and Archibald Norwatt, notary public."

In 1570 George Monro was appointed minister of Suddie; and in 1574 Kinnetas, with a stipend of 14 pounds 8s 10d Scots, was added to his charge, "with the haille Chancellory of Ross." He had, however, to pay his own "Readers."

It may be here noticed that few of the people could then read, or had ever heard the Word of God read in their own tongue. To meet this defect, and also to make up for the want of ministers of the Reformed faith, the Scottish Reformers appointed a temporary class of office bearers called Readers, to read the Common Prayers and the Scriptures in the Churches, until advancing education made them unnecessary. Readers who had made such proficiency in the knowledge of Scripture as to be able to exhort the people, were known by the name of Exhorters. No one could be appointed to the office of Reader until he had reached the age of twenty-one years, and it was also necessary that he should be "endued with gravity and discretion," lest by his lightness and prayers or Scriptures read should be "of lesse price or estimation." And if, after holding the office for two years, the Reader had not advanced so as to be able to exhort and explain the Scriptures, he was removed from his office, on the ground that they who were not in a resonable time "able to edify the Kirk" should not be "perpetually susteined upon the charge of the Kirk." The object of these arrangements was that Readers should be gradually advance to the position of Exhorters; and that Exhorters should be advanced to the platform of Ministers, who preached the Word and administered the Sacraments.--(Dr Ross's "Pastoral Work," p. 245.)

At the General Assembly of 1575 the Rev. George was accused of neglecting his duties, when he excused himself by pleading that he was prevented from attending to them, "by reason of a deadly feud," and his excuse was accepted. In 1581 he was one of a deputation appointed by the General Assembly for the erection of Presbyteries in the counties of Ross, Sutherland, and Caithness. This appointment was repeated in 1582. In 1586 he was a member of a committee nominated for the trial of any slander in life or conversion in the County of Ross, and in 1587 was one of several members of Assembly entrusted with answering the five articles propounded by James VI. He was selected by the General Assembly of the following year as the Commissioner to visit the bounds of Orkney, "where the Jesuits and Papists chiefly resort, and therein to plant kirks with qualified ministers; depose and deprive such as be unqualified, whether in life or doctrine, as well bishops as others, of the ministry; to crave of all men, as well of high estate as others, subscription to the Confession of Faith, and participation of the Lord's Supper; to try, call, and convene Papists and Apostates, and to proceed against them conform to the Acts of the Assembly, and finally, to do all other things that are necessary for reformation of the said bounds, and reducing them to a good order, establishing of the Evangel, and good dicipline of the Kirk, firm and stable holding." (Calderwood's "History of the Kirk of Scotland," vol. iv. pp. 641-2,)

In 1589 Chancellor Monro was named by the Privy Council as one of the Ministers for "the maintenance of true religion in the bounds of Inverness and Cromarty." About the same time he was translated to Tarbat, but he returned to Suddie in 1594. In 1595 he was member of a committee appointed by the Assembly to advise with the Presbytery of Inverness "because of their weakness," and in 1569 he was again deputed to visit the bounds of Orkney, Shetland, Caithness, and Sutherland. In 1598 he was translated to Rosemarkie; and in 1599 to Chanonry, at the same time retaining the charge of Suddie and Kinettas. ("Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae," vol, iii. Part I., page 284.) At this period Protestant clergymen were scarce, and one minister had frequently to take charge of two or more parishes, an arrangement which had only one advantage to recommend it. It saved the pockets of the heritors. Chancellor Monro was member of the General Assemblies of 1601, 1602, and 1610. He was appointed by the Assembly of 1606 constant Moderator of the Presbytery of Ardmeanach, or the Black Isle, in the absence of Alexander Hepburn, Bishop of Ross; and on the 17th of January, 1607, the Presbytery was charged by the Privy Council to receive him within twenty-four hours after notice, under pain of rebellion. He died in 1630, or very soon after. ("Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae," vol. iii. Part I. page 274.)

He married a lady named Livingstone with issue...
