DEATHS - At his residence in the village of Naples, Ontario County, NY., on the 3rd day of April, 1869, James L. Monier Esq., aged about 69 years.
SAME PAPER
DEATH of JAMES L. MONIER - In the death of Mr. Monier, which we learn took place suddenly at his home in Naples, on Saturday, the 3rd inst., our county loses another of its prominent citizens and most active and useful business men.
Mr. Monier was born in 1800, and the forty six or seven years of his business life were spent in this county. He started in life with no other capital save industry, good habits and integrity.
His first engagement in this county was that of clerk for Henry Chapin. He was subsequently a clerk for Ebenezer Hale, and in connection with Mr. Hale established the store in Naples which was the main element in his subsequent success.
With a mind of remarkable grasp and clearness, and steady untiring industry, his success was rapid. Another element of his success was his unfaltering business integrity. No obligation of his was ever dishonored, and his business word was never a matter of doubt.
He started at Naples with a capital of five hundred dollars, and leaves to his family hundreds of thousands. His first foot of land was purchased here, and at his death he was the owner of three thousand four hundred acres, nearly all valuable farming lands in and around Naples, all acquired by his own exertions.
Political positions he utterly refused to have never consenting to hold even a town office, but he was among the earlier Presidents of the Ontario County Agricultural Society, was also a Director in the Bank of Geneva, and President of the Board of Trustees of the Naples Academy.
Several years ago he had a shock of apoplexy, and though he recovered so as to resume and continue his business, his death came suddenly, without warning, by a recurrence of his disease, and the thought of those who knew him, upon hearing his death, will be that Ontario County has few such business men to lose as James Livingston Monier.
ONTARIO COUNTY TIMES April 6, 1869
Death of James L. Monier, by a line item, Hon. E. B. Pottle, we are informed of the death of James L. Monier, one of the most prominent
citizens of Naples.
He died suddenly, almost without a moment's warning, on Saturday the 3rd instant, his death being caused probably by a recurrence of the
apoplectic difficulty with which he was attacked several years ago. He had been in usual health, and was engaged in business almost to the last
moment. His age was sixty eight years.
Mr. Monier was in some respects a remarkable man. His long and successful business career presents an example of what may be accomplished by industry, integrity and good habits. With these, and no other capital, he commenced his earnest life work, succeeding ultimately in amassing a handsome fortune, and in building up for himself a reputation which made him the peer of the most honorable and trusted businessmen in Ontario County.
