59057	Janet was born in Scotland, but emigrated to Seattle, Washington, USA to marry Alexander Munro. In the year after their marriage, they moved to Crystal Springs on Bainbridge Island, where Janet lived for 62 years until her death. Following are excerpts from a letter written by her granddaughter, Mrs. John Tarabochia, which was published in ref. (3): "I'd like it very much if you'd write a few lines about a truly deserving woman, a lovely old lady of 80, my grandmother, Mrs. Alexander (Janet) Munro. "She's lived at Point White, which of course is Crystal Springs or Gibson's Landing to her, for nearly 60 years. Her ten children were raised and schooled on the Island and over half of her grandchildren, and at either McDonald or Pleasant Beach you'll find a great-grandchild. "Visiting her on top of the hill you'll always be invited to a cup of tea and a piece of cake or asked to pick some fresh fruit. Always sitting in front of a fireplace made of granite that her husband built...she'll tell you lots about the Island. (She is) "a spry little woman of less than 100 pounds, with beautiful silver hair and an alert mind. But her hands are not as steady as when John, Duncan, Bill, Ann, Mary, George, Euphemia, Isabell, Gordon and Jimmie were children. (She'll tell you) "when a girl in her teens she tutored the children of a lord and lady in Scotland...and how her brother worked in the Old Port Blakely mill for a dollar a day and swam part way home." Janet was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Ref. (2) says that in 1952 she had 22 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. But ref. (3) says that in 1949 she had 32 grandchildren, and nine great- grandchildren.

59087	Jay was born at the old family homestead in Lawrence. He was a very good-looking young man who went to South Haven, Michigan when he was thirteen to further his studies. He graduated from the local agricultural college and from the University of Michigan, Class of 1880. He was imployed by the First State Bank of South Haven, and he took to the banking business with the same great gusto and interest which motivated others in his family. After only four years at the South Haven bank, he was offered a banking positon in Kalamazoo in 1884. When the Kalamazoo Savings Bank was organized, he was named Cashier. This was a very responsible position for a youth of barely twenty-five years, and indicates his exceptional abilities. He achieved both business and social success in his few brief years in Kalamazoo. In early Jun 1888, he was suddenly seized with a rare intestinal malady which caused a complete stoppage and very severe pain. The promising young banker, who had been described as in the prime of robust manhood just a few days before his sudden illness, suffered greatly before his death. He was buried in the family plot in South Haven cemetery. Because of his sudden tragic death, the family erected an especially large gravestone inscribed with a cross and the words, "He sleepeth." References: (1) "History and Genealogy of the Lexington, Mass. Munroes", 2nd ed. by R. S. Munroe - Florence, Massachusetts (1986) - 13-8/11-89 - p. 254-255 ----- Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA	Monroe, Jay Randolph Jr. (I8908)
59088	Jay was named after his grandfather, Judge Jay R. Monroe, the founder of the town of South Haven, Michigan, and for his uncle, Jay R. Monroe, Jr., a banker in Kalamazoo, who died at an early age. Jay grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan where he first took an interest in sailing. He attended Stetson University in Florida and Kalamazoo college in Michigan. In 1906, he graduated from the University of Michigan Law School and was admitted to the Michigan bar. He did not pursue a legal career and did not enter the family banking business, but went to work for the Western Electric Company in Chicago. Assigned to the accounting department, he first became acquainted with the rather primitive adding and calculating machines which were just coming on the market at that time. Jay was interested in these mechanical devices and began to develop ideas for improvements. In 1907, a disastrous spring frost ruined the fruit crop in southwestern Michigan, causing Jay's father, Lyman Monroe, to suffer grave financial losses which nearly wiped out his fortune. Jay, who had been brought up in relative affluence was on his own. That same year, the Western Electric Company transferred him to Pittsburgh, where he met his future wife. Jay was transferred again in 1910, this time to New York City. He and his new wife, settled in East Orange, New Jersey. There Jay met Frank Stephen Baldwin, who had invented a remarkable calculator in 1874. Baldwin had made vigorous efforts to commercialize his invention but had been unsuccessful. It was said that the machine was ahead of its time. When Jay saw Baldwin's latest model of 1908, he realized that this machine with improvements would have a great potential. Frank Baldwin was seventy-three years old when the two met in 1911. He was delighted that Jay, aged twenty-eight recognized the worth of his machine. Jay left Western Electric and worked with Baldwin to perfect the machine which would perform the four rules of arithmetic in a manner so straightforward and simple that it could be operated by the average person without the necessity of special training. Frank and Jay became close friends. Baldwin gladly sold his patents to Jay who assigned them to the newly organized Monroe Calculating Machine Company which was incorporated in Apr 1912. Jay's first cousin, Stephen B. Monroe, and a group of his associates in Kalamazoo, Michigan, provided the original capital. The company was begun on a very small scale. It was an enormous effort to organize production and to set up a sales force. The first years were difficult and discouraging. By 1915 the corner was turned. The famous K model introduced in 1921 became a world-wide success. This was followed by a full line of automatic calculating machies which became the leaders in the industry. Jay pioneered many innovations in enlightened industrial relations. He was greatly respected and loved by his employees who numbered nearly 3000 at the time of his death. He has been characterized as an industrialist with a heart. His motto: "The pursuit of a definite ideal" resulted in the Monroe spirit which lived long after his death in the company he founded. Jay was a devoted husband and father who experienced more than his share of grief. His oldest son, Jay Randolph, Jr. (IV), died in 1914 at the age of three. Nine years later in 1923, his wife, Bette, died at the age of 34. His second wife, Edith, died in 1931. Because of health reasons, he had been advised to seek outdoor exercise, so after his company was well established, he took up golf. He loved the game and became quite good at it. He became close personal friends with Bobby Jones, Clif Roberts and other well known figures in the golfing world. He was one of the founders of the Augusta National Golf Club and a member of several golf clubs including Baltusrol, Canoe Brook, Essex County, the Knoll and Pine Valley in New Jersey, and many others. He had a reputation as the nicest guy to caddy for in New Jersey. In 1932, he married Ethlyn Wheeler of Proctorsville, Vermont. He died suddenly in April 1937 of a massive cerebral hemmorrhage. He was 54 years old. His death was a bitter blow to his family and his company. There was a power struggle there which lasted for ten years. Jay Monroe was a man of sterling character, upright and honest in all his dealings. These qualities were happily recognized in his lifetime. He was a natural leader who was looked up to by all who knew him. In 1958, his widow and son established a modest charitable foundation in his memory so that his generous spirit could be perpetuated.
