(15 Mar 1928, Thursday, Erick Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK): February 29th, Brother Q. A. Monroe was called to appear before the judgement seat of Christ to be rewarded for his faithfulness as a good soldier in the army of the Lord. He was born in Maxodore, Ohio, October 28th, 1841. At the age of twenty-six, he was married to Emily Hill. To that Union eight children were born, four sons and four daughters, five of the children and Bro. Monroe's good companion still remain and were all present at the funeral, with a host of relatives, Brethren, Sisters in Christ, and friends to mourn, his loss. Brother Monroe obeyed the Gospel at the age of fifteen and lived a life that his children say they want to live. What time I was acquainted with him I learned that he enjoyed talking about the goodness of God, and when able was always present at Lord's Day worship and his good companion always with him, both always had a good word for every one. The funeral service was conducted at the Church of Christ in Erick, by Bro. Riley of Plymouth, Texas, an old time friend of Bro. Monroe's, assisted by the writer. The body was laid to rest in the Independent Cemetery near Vinson (Harmon County), March 1st.
