• Notes

  I was corresponding with him; and he had intended to send a book of the Monroes that he was writing; but he died before it was finished. The sudden death of his father in 1937, made it imperative for Malcolm to devote his efforts to the management of the Monroe Company. From 1942-45 Malcom served as a Pfg in the U.S. Army. He took part as a combat infantryman in the battle of northern France. After the war Malcolm formed an alliance with he Connable family, the second largest shareholders in the Monroe Calculating Machine Co., which in 1947 took control of the company. In 1959, together with his stepmother, Ethlyn W. Monroe, he set up the Jay R. Monroe Memorial Foundation in memory of his father. He spent much time making 16mm historical travelogues which combined his lifelong interests in history, geography, travel, symphonic music and photography.
