Monroe was a dear cousin and we will all miss him. Condolences to Louise and their family -- Louise will need support from all of us :-) (Louise and I are direct BOSTER cousins - she is also an ADAMS, BOYER, INGRAM, MOORE, NANCE, YORK, ...) There is much more to his life than what an obit can state (as we all know). Monroe went through the Bombardier School in Carlsbad, NM and is listed in the monument there. The stories he told of his times being part of the mine wars in FCI and being a supervisor during very turbulent times were enlightening. He had a very strong opinion on what was right and wrong. He was also very opinionated about race, women, etc... (if you knew him, you know what I mean!) He grew up in a different time :-) Monroe's knowledge of the Northern/Ewing Twp. area was wonderful - he lived through so much there. He was very interested in caring for cemeteries in the area and was the caretaker for Middle Fork Cemetery. He became very much a part of the annual WEBB reunions reignited by Sheila Cadwalader, Webb Cain, and John Hayes in 1992+. Monroe graciously agreed to be part of the WEBB DNA project (FamilyTreeDNA) and this has helped us determine Eli/Lazarus WEBB line is closely aligned with Giles WEBB (1620-1692).
