It was during the legislative career of Major M. that he received the designation of 'Honest John,' a tribute from the arch trickster, Henry Clay Warmouth, to the incorruptibility of the man. In 1879 Maj. M. was again sent to the Legislature, and elected Speaker without opposition. This was the Legislature that called the Constitutional Covention of 1879, by which the present judicial system of La. was framed. (Shreveport La. Times.)."

Du Bellet, Louise Pecquet, Some Prominent Virginia Families, Volume II, (J P Bell Company Publishers, Lynchburg, Virginia, 1907), 455, "Another loved one has been taken from our dear family circle; a brother beloved has been called upon to part with the wife of his youth, the companion of his riper years. In her death he has lost a true and devoted wife, and her children and grandchildren a loving and tender mother and grandmother, and all of us in the home circle a valued and loved friend.Whilst another more competent than I has written of her virtues, enumerating the traits of her lovely character, yet would I as associated with her in early life, offer a slight tribute to her precious memory.So often in this life do we see the true, the noble, the gifted, the self-denying--those who seem to be so much needed in the world--called away, whilst others are left who to us appear of less importance and who are far less lovely in their character and disposition. But we are short-sighted and our vision is obscured, for God knoweth best who to call to go,God knoweth best who to leave below.Our dear Fanny was one of those lovely and lovable characters whose presence and companionship was dear to all her loved ones. Being dead she yet speaketh. Her precious example is a rich legacy, not alone to her husband, children and grandchildren, but to every one of that family circle of which she was a truly beloved and admired member.Sweet sister, we will think of thee,And cherish long thy memory;So long as life and thought shall last,Will come to the memories of the past.A.

44. Du Bellet, Louise Pecquet, Some Prominent Virginia Families, Volume II, (J P Bell Company Publishers, Lynchburg, Virginia, 1907), 453, "MONCURE--On Friday evening, February 26, 1897, passed from death unto life, Marguerite Elizabeth, beloved wife of Thomas J Moncure, at Kirkwood, their home, Stafford Co, Va., in the 58th year of her age.Although for many months she had suffered much, causing her family great alarm and anxiety for her condition, she seemed to recover her strength, and they had hopes of her final restoration to health. But death came suddenly and unexpectedly. Peacefully and quietly, yet without a word, her pure spirit took its everlasting flight.When we stand beside the dying bed of our loved ones, watching the life slowly ebbing away, we feel it is hard to see them suffer, to know we must give them up, and yet, after they are gone from us, it seems some consolation at least, that we had a word, a smile, a tender look of recognition, as they passed over the river. But God knows best. He has ever a tender care over His children. In all His purposes concerning them, there is a hidden meaning. We cannot understand it now, butSomethime we'll understand,God knows the way, He holds the key;He guides us with unerring hand.Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see--Yes there--up there--we'll understand.Our loved sister had been a child of God for many years--her hope was in Christ. A good wife, a good mother, a kind and true friend. A woman of strong character and strict integrity, she was beloved and respected by all who knew her.At such a time what could avail us, had we not that same blessed hope in Christ, that we shall see our loved ones again. Precious reality!A dear husband, three sons and a loved daughter-in-law, and a precious little grandchild, of whom she was very fond, with loved brothers and sisters, not only mourn their loss, but bear her in sweet remembrance till the resurrection morn.A.M.P."
