Margaret (Forbes) Munro
Margaret was born about 1825 in Scotland.
In 1880, she and her family were living near Fort Calhoun, Nebraska. The 1880 US Census lists:
Hugh L. Munro, head, 62, farmer, b. Scotland
Margaret Munro, wife, 54, keeps house, b. Scotland
David Munro, son, 25, works on farm, b. Canada
John Munro, son, 20, works on farm, b. Canada
Jane Munro, daughter, 18, at home, acute rheumatism, b. Canada
Dornina Munro, daughter, 15, at home, b. Canada
16 June, 1891 - The Pilot - Grandmother Monroe (from Ft. Calhoun news items)
Grandmother Monroe died last night near midnight. Mrs. Monroe was a Scotch woman who, with her family, came to Canada many years ago, and then to Dodge county on Maple Creek, this state, and probably twelve years ago to Calhoun. A year or two ago she moved to Omaha with part of her children who are all grown up. Till a few days ago she seemed to feel the end of earth coming, and came home to her daughter's, Mrs. James Vaughan, almost in sight of the grave of her husband, and remained confined to her bed till death came to her relief.
