From The Otsego Union March 11, 1989:
ORION .MONROE
Last Friday the reaper of death called from earth the spirit of Orion Monroe, and many hearts were saddened at the announcement. Two weeks ago Sunday he was taken ill and day by day grew weaker until the final summons came. Mr. Monroe was born in Easton, Washington county, N. Y., August 3rd, 1823, and was therefore in the 75th year of his life. He was a twin brother of the late Horace T. Monroe, who passed away last July. In 1852 the deceased came to Michigan, and since that time has been a resident of Otsego township. Four years later, in December, 1856, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Myers, the aged widow who survives him. To them were born six children, who are now living. Mrs. W. E. Marshall, of Big Rapids; Gorton, of Montana: Charles, Eugene, Georgia and Mary, of this place. One brother, Thomas, of St. Louis, and one sister, Mrs. C. M. Fish, of Leroy, also survive him. Mr. Monroe was highly respected as a neighbor and friend and in all his dealings with his fellow man he was always found upright and honest. He was a worthy citizen and was held in high esteem by a large circle of friends. His upright walk before men testified to his character and won for him a large circle of friends. Though not a church member he was for many years a regular attendant at church services and ever maintained a strong and abiding faith in all things pertaining to the religion of Jesus Christ. He detested all shams or pretense. His sympathies were ever open to all true, honest, earnest men and women. To all such he willingly extended the hand of fellowship and was ever, considered among his acquanintances to be one of the foremost men as to principle and duty. Funeral services were held at the house Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rey. J. V. Fradenburg, taking for his text Heb. 11:16, "But now they desire a better country that is an heavly.” A long cortege of friends followed the remains to their last resting place in Mountain Home cemetery.
