General Notes: Husband - William Johnston Monroe

---

He attended the common schools of his native township until eighteen years of age. From 1876 to 1880 he attended the summer terms of Delmont academy and in the latter year took the full course of the Greensburg training school. In the autumn of 1880 he commenced teaching in the common schools of Salem township and taught successfully in them for over ten years. Mr. Monroe ranked among the foremost teachers of Salem township, being practical but thorough in his teaching and always laboring earnestly to fit his pupils for every-day life. He learned the trade of carpenter with George Wallace and after working several summers as a journeyman he began carpentering and contracting for himself, which he followed in connection with teaching.
In 1887 he became a member of McKeesport Local Union, Carpenters and Joiners of America. He was a charter member and councillor of Delmont Council, No. 58, Jr., O. U. A. M., and a charter member and secretary of Good Intent Grange, No. 862, P. of H., and a member of New Salem Presbyterian church.
