Rushville, Feb. 10. -- Mrs. Annis Munroe, who was buried in this city today, had a rare distinction. She was one of the few remaining genuine Daughters of the Revolution. Her father, Colonel Hinman, fought under George Washington.
When she was a little girl, she had the pleasure of meeting General Lafayette, and he honored her by dancing the Cotillion with her at a private party. She treasured with natural pride, all her life, a set of champagne glasses which the great Lafayette presented her.
Mrs. Munroe was a woman of rare attainments, and of a most lovable nature. She leaves a most fragrant memory in this community. One son, James Munroe, is a lawyer of recognized ability in Chicago, and another, Thomas Munroe, is a prosperous lumber dealer.
Mrs. Munroe was eighty-nine years of age, and was one of the grand pioneer women of Rushville, having lived in the house where she died, since the early thirties.
She is survived by six children: Hinman, Charles, and Miss Mary Munroe, of this city; James Munroe of Chicago; and Thomas and William Munroe of Muskegon Michigan. All the children will be here to attend the funeral, with the exception of Thomas Munroe, who is in California.
