were serious obstacles 20 professional sue

The ex-president lived the life of re-
cluse in New York. his proud spirit hu-
inflated by the ADVERTISEMENTS of poverty
and by the sorrows which came TO his
family. Many citizens of New York were
not aware that the ex-president had taken
up his residence IN that city, and the first
intimation that they had that he had been
living among them was the announcement
of his death. He died on the Fourth of
July. 1881. after short Illness. He. too
knowing that his end was near. PRAYED
that he might survive until the nations
anniversary, and he seemed content when
on the afternoon of that day they told him
that he had but a few minutes more 10
live.
Mr. Monroe was buried in 4 little ceme-
terry in the heart OF New York, and there
his remains rested practically unmarked
and unhonored for nearly twenty years.
AT last, in response ~ a sentiment created
in Virginia, the remains we're removed
and taken by the steamship Ericsson to
Richmond. where they were inferred in
the Hollywood cemetery, and there very
plain shaft marks their final resting place.
