In 1856 he sold his place and bought 210 acres of land on Sec. 7 and 18, Wagner township. He erected a house on section 18 where he died. His farm is well improved and one of the finest in this section of Wagner township. Mr. Monlux was married to Susannah Wagner, a native of Pennsylvania, born August 15, 1810. This union was blessed with ten children, seven living, Margret, William, John, George, Charles, Ezra and Eliza. His wife died Aug. 11, 1879. He lived on the old homestead with his youngest daughter, Eliza. In politics he was a republican. In time of war he furnished four boys to defend our country’s flag. He is well and favorably known in the community in which he lived as a man of integrity, worth and a representative citizen of Clayton Co. He now sleeps his sleep of peace.
