Monroe was 57 when he died and so he was born in about 1847. However, his death certificate and cemetery records say he was 60 when he died. In the 1850 census he is 4 years old. The family lived in the Township of Westampton, Burlington, New Jersey. All were born in N.J. In the 1860 census he is not listed with his family in Medford, Burlington, N.J., but there is George W. Monroe, age 14, N.J. born, with the Hazelet family in Lebanon, Hunterdon, N.J., about 60 miles away. He is 36 in the 1880 census and 55 in the 1900 census. He was enrolled in the 37th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry on June 2, 1864, and was mustered in as a Private in Company I on June 23, 1864. He served until he was mustered out on October 1, 1864. He also served in the 6th Pennsylvania Militia. On Sept. 7, 1867 George married Emma Collins. Church records say her mother was Ann Collins. I could not find George in the 1870 census, but his parents and siblings are now in Indiana. They moved there in 1868 according to his father's obituary. In the 1880 census George is living in Northampton, Burlington, N.J. He is a molder in an iron foundry. (His father had been a blacksmith.) He and Emma have five children: John W. (12), William H. (10), Laura (6), Carrie (4), and Sarah A. (4m). Emma passed away in 1883 from consumption according to church records. In 1891 a U.S. Civil War Pension Index classified George as an “invalid”. In the 1900 census he is living with his son John and his young family in Northampton, Burlington, N.J. George died on March 9, 1904. According to church records the cause of death was alcoholism, but a press account says he died suddenly from apoplexy. One newspaper said he had suffered from tuberculosis. George is my third great grandfather through his son William. I’d like to thank Russ Dodge for setting up this memorial. Russ wrote the paragraph about George’s military service. Mike Sullivan
