Little Boy
named Monroe
BY ALN41RA PARK

This is the story of a little
brown boy who was born in Ohio
on his grandmother's farm, son
Of First Lieutenant in the Civil
War who, at its close established
home in Boston, where he was
mustered out, and to which he
had brought his Ohio bride, Lii
liam Virginia Isaacs.
The little boy stayed on the
farm for several months till he
waxed strong. Tie was a puny
lad and his parents who had lost
their first and second sons feared
that he also might not survive.)
In Boston he lived for several
years till the approaching advent
of his sister hurried the family
to Hyde Park, Mass, a little town
of 10000 inhabitants, ten miles
from Boston. Here they found
charming little three room apart
ment Ga part Of the home of
the Andrews family) consisting
of living room, bedroom and
kitchen-rent $40 a month. (This
was in the 70's).

MONROE and his siste r
MAUDE.

SAO4NAbOG etA4A Ills . p
MAUDE.
The little girl came in October
and the father named her Maude
after Tennyson's poem, MAUD
Muller poem that was all the
rage of the literary folk of that
day, ('cMaud Muller on a sum-
mer's day." etc.,. The father was
a writer, a poet, and a musician.
The little girl who remained her
fathers favorite of all his three
children, was by her relatives
nicknamed maud Muller, "Mul-
Ter" and "Mullerine".
Well, the little brown boy, in
time, entered the Hyde Park
public schools and at once ex-
celled his classmates in scholar
ship and in physical proves ir
the schoolyard where fights were
the order of the day at recess
time and after school. The LITTLE
lad took over all corners, ever
those a head or so taller, Che
was still a slender lad) and
emerged always the victor. He
J did not know that his father told
him he must excel, because he
was a colored boy. At that time
he knew nothing of color, In
that town there were only two
or three colored families but the
father told him that if he ever
came home having suffered a
whipping by another boy he
would get another whipping. So
with that spur he excelled in all
fights and also in scholarship
maintaining 100 per cent in all
studies through Grammar School
(where he was valedictorian at
graduation) and in High School
where again he had the honor
of saying farewell to his school
and classmates.
The youngster early evinced
a great religious spirit, spent all
day Sunday in the First Bap-
fist Church which he joined at
the age Of II. His father dis
liked so strong a religious tend
ency fearing he might not like
to go out in the world and fight
the worlds problems; in fact
the minister of the church be-
sought Mr.. Trotter, ST.. to let the
boy be trained for the ministry,
promising that when he had fin
ished his training the assistant |
pastorship Of the church would /
be offered to him. To this the |
father replied that was all very |
well Tor the Baptist Church Of |
Hyde Park but after that the
boy would have to direct a seq
regated church. So he did not |
go into the ministry, this little |
boy who was a fighter in his |
youth and lived to be a great |
crusader for the rights Of his |
race and for the true democracy
of his country.
