From Geneva Daily Times 16 July 1908

Naples, N. Y. - James L. Monier, aged 61 years, of one of the oldest families of the town and the last of that name now living here, died suddenly Monday evening. In his usual health he sat on the porch of his home to read. Soon he fell to the floor, and was found dead by neighbors, He had been living alone in the house for some time. Apoplexy is the pronounced cause, and no inquest was held. Mr. Monier's father was James L. Monier, for thirty years in the past the leading and most wealthy business man of the town. The son was educated in Geneva and at Peekskill Military Academy. His home had always been here. While possessing talent and considerable energy, he did not choose a profession nor any regular business. His leisure was given much to reading and study of history. Mr. Monier married in 1873 Miss Caroline Conaughty, of this town, who, with two sons, he leaves. Joseph L. is a cotton broker in New York City and Millard lives in Rochester. Three sisters, Mrs. Henry C. Fiske, of Buffalo; Mrs. Charles Young of Bayonne, N. J., and Mrs. S. A. Welcon of Naples, are living. The Monier estate is large, and is still unsettled, as the will forbids division until the youngest grandchild shall become 21 years old, which will be in three years.

"Naples Record 26 July 1873
James L Monier has brought fair specimens of coal that were taken from
the base of the hilt below Luther's dam. It is a soft coal and bums well. The
only question that remains to be solved is if it is contained in our old East
Hill in quantities that will pay; of the
existence of coal there is no doubt (submitted by FAG contributor organicfarm)
