Monroe Linton

April 30, 1853 - November 22, 1939

Rev. L. W. Crouch was called to Francitas last Thursday to conduct the funeral services of Mr. Monroe Linton, aged 86 years, and 7 months. He  was born in Warrier, Ala., and came to Texas when 18 years of age. He married Julia Ann Trewilan [Trevillion] and to this union were born 11 children, 8 of whom remain to mourn the going of a father. The wife and helpful helpmate left this earthly tabernacle in 1894, leaving to the care of her husband these several children.

Mr. Linton was a very successful farmer who lived as a law abiding citizen, a kind and courteous neighbor. He was raised in the faith of the Christian Church and lived true to its teachings.

He is survived by five sons, Elonzo, of Lufkin, Sam of Byers, John D. of Groveton, Emmett of Francitas, and William of Palacios; three daughters, Mrs. Minnie Dinkins, of Walter; Mrs. Zettie Welch of Goose Creek and Mrs. Kate Parrish, of Francitas. Besides the children, 44 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren and a large number of friends mourn his passing.
