John J. MUNROE, who died yesterday in the 80th year of his age, was a native of Prince William (York Co.) He came to St. John when quite young and his papers as a freeman bear date December 1837, the first year of the reign of Queen Victoria. Mr. Munroe was married on 27th May 1840 and his wife died only a few days ago, her death affecting him so much that it hastened his own. He became a fireman in 1839 as an engineman of No. 2 company. He was appointed foreman of the company in 1848 and assistant chief in 1849. In 1851 he became engineer of the company. Mr. Munroe was an attendant of the Centenary church during the greater part of the period of his residence in St. John, and with the exception of Samuel GARDNER, was the oldest member of that church. He followed the business of carpenter and builder for many years, but about 30 years ago turned his attention to trunk making in which he has continued ever since. Mr. Munroe had more than his share of troubles, but his resolution of strength and character carried him through troubles that would have killed many a man. Four of his children survive him, three daughters and one son. One of the former, Mrs. WILMOT, resides in Seattle, Washington. The other married daughter, Mrs. Albert CRAIG, lives in St. John. Mr. Munroe's last illness was very brief and he was about as usual only ten days ago.
