The following is an article from the Clay County Republican, a newspaper in Louisville, Illinois. 11 Feb 1937:
The Last Burial of the Body of Abraham Lincoln
Our reporter in Springfield recently interviewed Judge B.D. Monroe in relation to the last burial of the body of Abraham Lincoln. Judge Monroe formerly lived in Louisville and practiced law in Clay County for many years and for eight years was Judge of the County Court. Afterward he moved to Springfield and served for eight years as Assistant Attorney General. He was one of the last men to view the body of Lincoln when it was placed in the new tomb in Springfield in 1901. Judge Monroe is now past 84 years of age but remembers vividly the incidents relative to rebuilding of the Lincoln monument and interrment of Lincoln's body therein.
Judge Monroe said "I was a member of the special committee appointed by the Lincoln Monument Association to oversee the rebuilding of the monument in 1901.
The members of the committee were Governor Richard Yates, Clinton L. Conklin, M. W. Williamson, State Treasurer James S. McCullough, State Auditor Joseph H. Freeman, State Sup't of Public Instruction Floyd K. Whittimore, Ass't State Treasurer Joseph N. Reese, Adj't General John J. Brenholt, State Senator Geo. N. Black, Col. James S. Culver and B. D. Monroe, Ass't Attorney General.
Before Col. Culver began to take down the monument, it became necessary, of course, to remove the large marble sarcophagus containing the body of Lincoln and the caskets containing the bodies of Mrs. Lincoln and their two sons to a vault built for the purpose.
During the summer of 1901 (when the monument was nearly completed) Robert Lincoln came to Springfield and made the request that his father's body be placed in the monument in such a manner that it would never again be disturbed.
Therefore an excavation 12 feet square and 12 feet deep with steel frames on each side of the casket was made. After the casket was placed therein the excavation was filled with cement up to the level of the floor of the monument.
Col. Culver notified the committee when the monument was completed and he was ready to remove the bodies from the temporary vault into the monument. Accordingly the whole committee went to the monument on the morning of Sept. 26, 1901 and caused the casket containing Lincoln's body to be brought into the main room of the monument.
The committee then considered the propriety of opening the casket and in view of the fact that an attempt had been made in the first days of Nov 1876 to steal the body (which though unsuccessful, yet left doubt in the minds of some) the committee, taking into consideration that this was the last burial of the body decided that it was proper and right to open the casket and put forever to rest the whispering going around the state that the body had been stolen and carried away.
Accordingly, in the presence of the committee, a piece of the leaden casket about 15 inches wide and 2 feet in length directly over the face was cut out. The committee then viewed the face. It was perfectly preserved, even the mole on the side of the face was still there. Anyone at all familiar with pictures of Lincoln would have recognized him at once.
After all present had viewed him, the leaden casket was sealed then it was lowered into the excavation and the excavation was filled with cement. And thus was deposited in its final resting place the mortal body of Abraham Lincoln."

The following is an excerpt from a letter sent by John's mother to his father, who was in the gold fields of California at the time:
You can imagine the pleasure and consolation your letter was to me, when I relate to you the state of my health and bereavement. I was not able to sit up in bed without assistance when I received it. Dear husband my heart is filled with the deepest emotions of sorrow when I attempt to write that our little son is numb with the dead, on the 22 of March his spirit left this earth for that bright home beyond the skies, which he often talked about.
John L. had just recovered from an attack of the lung fever in Galena [where she had been staying with her family] we came home in January...then wrote that John had a cough but was in hopes he would be better when warm weather came. He was taken with a chill, Tuesday morning and died on Saturday morning, with inflammation on his lungs. On Sunday he was taken to your Fathers [probably Dr. Loofburrow] and buried by the side of his little brother. | Monroe, John (I49402)

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." | Monroe, Simon Peter (I45061)

The following is from a clipping from the Marshall, Minnesota newspaper, Jun 1902.
"Marriage: George Clements Edson and Miss Isabelle Irene Campbell were united in the sacred bond of matrimony in the Presbyterian church last Monday evening, June 16th, in the presence of quite a large number of friends and relatives.
The ceremony was performed by Ralph Elmo Clark, an intimate associate and for seven years a classmate of Mr. Edson, assisted by Rev. Coates, Presbyterian pastor here.
After the conclusion of the ceremony a large number of invited guests assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Lines where the evening was spent in a social way with plenty of dainty refreshments. A great many beautiful and costly presents were received which certainly presented a most beautiful appearance at the reception.
Mr. Edson is a young man of excellent character and social standing and is highly educated. He graduated from the Macalester Classical Academy with the class of 95. continuing his studies he became a graduate of Macalester College with the class of 99. With the beginning of the next school year he commenced a three years course at the Princeton Theological Seminary from which institution he was ordained on May 6th last. Mr. Edson is an exceptionally bright young man of very pleasing address and would be a credit to any profession. Soon after his ordination he received a call from the field at Carversville, Pa., where he now resides.
Miss Campbell is one of our favorite young ladies here, where she has resided, except when in school, since childhood. She became a graduate of Macalester Classical Academy with the class of 97 and graduated from Macalester College with the class of 01. After graduating she came with her mother to Cottonwood where they have since resided and during which time Miss Campbell has made many friends. She was always a favorite and made friends wherever she went. No young lady in our midst would be missed more than she as everyone seemed to be her friend.
Mr. and Mrs. Edson left on the afternoon train Tuesday for their new home at Carversville, Pa., and a large delegation of friends escorted them to the train and with many a warm hand shake wished them happiness and prosperity as they journey through life together." | Family F14514

Miss Nancy Ann Monroe and Californian Marry; Nuptials Are Surprise
Robert O'Neal Claims Prominent Quincy Girl as Bride
Announcement by Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Monroe of the marriage of their granddaughter, Miss Nancy Ann Monroe, daughter of Neal Monroe, to Robert O'Neal, son of Dr. and Mrs. Robert M. O'Neal, of Santa Monica, California, comes as a complete surprise to friends. Mr. O'Neal arrived here Monday morning, and the wedding plans were hastily made, the ceremony taking place Monday evening at 6 o'clock in the home of the Very Rev. Julius A. Schaad, dean of the Cathedral of St. John, who officiated. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe and grandson, Monroe Bonfoey, a cousin of the bride, were present for the ceremony. Mr. Monroe gave his granddaughter in marriage, and Mr. Bonfoey served as best man. The bride wore a white tailored frock, with hat and accessories in white.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Neal are remaining in Quincy for the present at the Monroe home and they are to be honored with a dinner party later in the week by the bride's grandparents. Friends are enjoying meeting Mr. O'Neal, who has never visited here before. He and Miss Monroe became acquainted when both were in school in California several years ago, and while no announcement of their engagement had been made, it was known to a number.
The prominence of the bride's family in the social and business life of Quincy and her own popularity in the young social set, makes the wedding one of the outstanding events of the season. A most attractive and charming girl, Mrs. O'Neal has had advantage of education in well known schools and travel abroad and in this country. After graduation from the Girls' Collegiate college in Glendora, California, Mrs. O'Neal attended a private school in New York City, and later entered Barnard college of Columbia University, completing a course there in February of this year. She spent last summer in Europe and was in Florida with her grandparents the past winter.
Mr. O'Neal's family is known to Quincyans who visit Santa Monica, including Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Dazey, whose son, Frank Dazey, resides near the O'Neal home. The father is one of the most distinguished surgeons of southern California, where his family is numbered among the old and prominent residents. The son was graduated on 3 Jun from Occidental college in Los Angeles. He and a college friend made the trip to Quincy in record time by motor, leaving Santa Monica Friday night, and reaching here Monday morning.
Mr. O'Neal intends to follow in his father's profession and expects to continue his medical studies in Occidental college the coming year. It is probable that Mrs. O'Neal also will enroll in the college with him. They already have a home in Santa Monica.
Mrs. O'Neal's father and Mrs. Monroe who were in Quincy a few months ago on their way to Florida have returned to California and with Mr. Monroe's son, Edward Neal Monroe, left Monday on a camping trip in Arizona. They are traveling by motor so it is not expected will receive word of the wedding for some time.

The following is from an obituary in an Oneida newspaper.
"Death of Miss Ella Munroe--Miss Ella Munroe, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Loring Munroe, of this village, died of typhoid fever, on Monday afternoon last, after nearly a month's illness, aged about 23 years. Miss Munro was a highly accomplished young lady, and her death is severely felt by her parents, who some years since lost two daughters, afer brief illness, of scarlet fever. Miss Munroe possessed rare musical talents, and, with her younger brother, who remains at home, was wont to entertain her parents and friends as but comparatively few have power to do. Her death will be deeply regretted by the society of young people in which she moved. The funeral takes place this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the residence on Broad Street, Rev. S. Jessup officiating, and the remains buried in Glenwood Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Munroe have three sons living, two of whom reside at Dunbarton, Oneida County."

The following is from the Sikes reference:
"Phillip came with his father and family to Elbridge, N.Y. in 1799, locating on lot 81. After marrying Sibel, he settled in Cayuga County on a farm about twelve miles west of the Elbridge home, in the town of Throop, about three miles north of Auburn, living on the same farm until his death, aged 74.
Phillip's farm was located on the Turnpike about two miles west of the crossroads and the Baptist Church, on the north side of the road. On the map of 1875 of Throop, the residence is located under the name of his widow, S. Manro, across the road from the school. It appears he had accumulated over 1000 acres in several farms in this area and in Aurelius. He started with 150 acres purchased in 1820 from Squier in lot 15, Aurelius district, for $3500.
The village, known first as Jefferson, then Mentz, then Throopsville, was larger in 1800 than Auburn, and a main stopping point for covered wagons moving from Albany to Buffalo and on west, traveling down Turnpike road. At the crossroads was a hotel and tavern, with stable for ox teams behind. Across the road was a general store, a cheese factory, two flour and gristmills, a wine press, a scythe shop (as all hay was cut by hand), a machine shop, carpetner shop, post office and the Baptist Church, founded in 1803. As late as 1880, Baptists at Throop were immersed in the Owasco River. In winter a hole was cut in the ice. After steam threshing machines were invented, a thresher motor was parked outside the church throughout the winter to warm the baptismal font in the floor near the altar. The two front windows were named for Phillip A. Manro and Thos. Jefferson Manro. There were two services each Sunday and families arriving by cutter and sled, with hot stones under blankets to warm them, brought lunches and stayed for both sermons.
Phillip was of a genial disposition and made much of his grandchildren, whom he would greet by placing his hand on their heads with the blessing, "noble boy," or "noble girl." His wife, Sibel, was of soft speech and of personal poise. One of her sayings was, "Very little talk makes very little trouble." Her recipe for longlife and health was a glass of water from the west well before breakfast every morning, and her grandson, Squire Codner, recalls being the carrier for many years. She was interested in the daily news, and during the last years of her life, continued her habit of reading the daily paper without the aid of spectacles.
While Phillip had a goodly share of Scottish thrift, he loaned much to the Lord in gifts to the poor in the vicinity. On the occasion of a man's asking for a coat, Sibel said there were but two and both were needed. Phillip said if there were two, one should be given. There was always a very bountiful supply on the table. A visit brought joy to hearts and stomachs.
In 1830, Elder Jeffries, the pastor of the Throops Baptist Church, and 39 members were dismissed to organize the second Baptist Church in Mentz (now Port Byron). The Throop church was greatly weakened by this division, so that they felt scarcely able to support a pastor. Phillip Manro told Elder Noah Barrell that if he would locate with the church in Throop, he would guarantee him shelter and food so long as he himself had them. He came to the church in 1830 and 48 persons were added by Baptism and letter during the four years of his pastorate. In 1839, he was called to the pastorate again and 92 were added to the church in the three ensuing years. Upon the death of Phillip in 1870, it was found that he had provided by his will an annuity for the maintenance of the pastor of the church so long as it continued as at present organized. In 1931, this annuity had been paid regularly for 60 years and the sum set aside was still intact. For years, Phillip acted as sexton of the church. Directly after breakfast on Sunday mornings his custom was to walk to the church, removing all stones from the roadway as he progressed. The wood-burning stoves were built through the partition between the vestibule and the audience room so that the wood could be fed to the stove from the vestibule and the greater part of the heat radiated in the audience room.
Two days before the wedding of Mary Manro to Stephen B. Harlowe, Phillip, at the breakfast table, told Mary that she might go with him to Auburn that day to buy the wedding dress. The garment was truly new and fresh for the ceremony. As his children married, they were given farms near the homestead, Jonathan, the "Fish" farm in Aurelius, and Thos. Jefferson the "Rice" farm on Donavan Road, each of 180 acres. Mary and Betsy Louise (Atwater) each received about 50 acres, Mary's portion adjoining the Harlow farm. Cynthia H. (Benham) first lived near the Benham farm and later at a place adjoining the Fish farm.
In his will, after providing an annuity for his widow and the church, Phillip divided the estate equally among the five sons and daughters; "all honors to ancestors who, whether educated in high schools or low schools, if there be any low schools, have obtained trained hands and disciplined minds, and have in the main practised justice, mercy and humility."
Sibel Roberts, daughter of Harvey Roberts of Danbury, Conn. was a widow of William Davis of Camillus, whose will was dated September 18, 1830. Since all of Phillip's children except Cynthia were born before 1830 it is believed that Phillip was married to someone whose name is not known, and only Cynthia was born to Phillip and Sibel, however other references attribute some of Phillip's other children to Sibel."

The following obituary is from "The Times" - 19 Aug 1995
"Sir Robert Munro
Sir Robert Munro, CBE, former President of the Senate in Fiji, died on July 12 aged 88. He was born on April 2, 1907.
Robert Munro was one of Fiji's leading public figures for half a century, both before and after the granting of independence 25 years ago. From being the founder chairman of Fiji's Town Planning Board after the war he took on a similar role at the new Broadcasting Commission, modeled on the BBC, in 1953 (resigning from the board of the Fiji Times before doing so) and then became president ten years later of the Family Planning Association (FPA).
He led Fiji's FPA for the next quarter of a century, during which its success in curbing the country's population explosion won international acclaim. Munro himself masterminded much of the campaign, producing a monthly newsletter and traveling far and wide to help promote it. The association sold condoms for a penny each to encourage birth control throughout the country.
His most distinguished role, however, was as President (in effect the Speaker) of the Senate, the upper house in Fiji's Parliament. Invited to accept the appointment by the country's Prime Minister at the time of independence in 1970, he set lasting standards of integrity and independence before retiring in 1982.
He was, therefore, in no way involved in the 1987 coup which overthrew the Government, declared Fiji a republic, rewrote the constitution to favour ethnic Fijians (as opposed to Indians) and led to Fiji being expelled from the Commonwealth.
Fiji was in fact only Munro's adopted country. He had sailed there as a young lawyer in the 1930s to escape the Depression in his native New Zealand - a voyage which in those days took three days and four nights.
He was born Robert Lindsay Munro in the Auckland suburb of Remuera, the son of an inspector of schools and former headmaster. But the family had its origins in Thurso, Caithness, from where his great-grandfather had emigrated to New Zealand in 1867.
From Auckland Grammar School he went to read law at Auckland University, then began work at a legal practice in Hamilton, North Island, some 50 miles south of Auckland. With prospects for young professionals looking bleak during the Depression, however, he answered an advertisement placed by Sir Howard Ellis, one of Fiji's leading lawyers, for an energetic young barrister/solicitor (neither New Zealand nor Fiji distinguishes between the two). It was a decision which shaped Munro's future career.
He served throughout the Second World War in the 2nd Battalion of the Fiji Military Forces. The 1st Battalion had left to fight the Japanese in the Solomon Islands while the 2nd remained behind to guard the homeland against the threat of invasion.
Military service became part-time as the threat subsided, allowing Munro to resume his career and to climb the ladder - eventually becoming the senior partner in his firm. The practice is now known as Munro, Leys & Co., He twice served as president of Fiji's Law Society and at various times belonged to the Legislative Council, the Education Board and Education Advisory Council, and the National Health Advisory Committee. He was also on the governing body of the International Planned Parenthood Federation and represented the Fijian Government at a number of overseas conferences and seminars.
He was particularly proud of serving the Norwegian Government as honorary consul for Figi, the Gilbert and Ellice Islands, the Phoenix Islands and Tonga between 1949 and 1988 - a function which earned him the Order of St Olav. He was knighted in 1977.
But despite his burgeoning commitments, Munro continued his profession as a lawyer, specializing in commercial law. Although in later years he reduced his role to that of consultant, he still worked a full day at his office until six months ago when he reduced this to a half-day, and was even at his desk on the day he died.
In later years, however, he complained of being bombarded by faxes. He regretted, he always said, the passing of those days when on receiving a letter in the post in Suva, one had a full month in which to reply before the next mailboat sailed.
He was a rifle-shooting blue at university and was also an international hockey player who captained the New Zealand 1932 hockey team on a famous tour of Australia when they did not lose a single match. Tall and lean, he retained his enthusiasm and drive throughout his life. He had a strong, clear intellect and, although essentially a reserved man, he could also display great charm.
His two brothers also distinguished themselves in their various fields. Sir Leslie Munro became New Zealand's Ambassador to both the United States and the United Nations while Douglas Munro was decorated by France for his scholarly research on Alexandre Dumas.
Robert Munro is survived by his wife Ranee, whom he married in 1937, and by their two sons and one daughter. | Munro, Sir Robert Lindsay (I25051)

The following obituary is from an Oneida newspaper dated 22 Jun 1936.
"Anthony B. Munroe, 75, banker here for more than half a century and one of the most widely known residents in this section, died suddenly early Sunday morning in his home, 406 Broad Street. He suffered a heart attack Saturday morning.
Entering the banking field while still in his teens, Mr. Munroe was first associated with the Oneida Savings bank. After the death of his father, Loring Munroe, who founded the Farmers and Merchants bank, he became head of that institution until it went out of existence many years ago.
Becoming a stockholder in the Oneida Valley National bank, he was later named a trustee and then president. He held the latter position until he resigned about four year ago to become chairman of the board of directors of the bank, which office he held at his death.
Always interested in the civic welfare of the city, altho never aspiring to any political office, Mr. Munroe was instrumental in bringing about many public improvements and was prime mover for erection of the present nurses home of the Broad Stret Hospital.
Active in the affairs of the first Presbyterian church, he had been a trustee for 25 years. Born March 13, 1861 at Bernhard's Bay, Oneida Lake, a son of Loring and Jane Munroe, he had resided in this city for about 59 years. For some time he conducted a clothing store in Madison Street, but the major part of his life was spent in banking circles.
Mr. Munroe was a member of Oneida Lodge 767 Elks, and a director of the Oneida Savings Bank as well as many other local organizations..."
