Word was received here yesterday by Miss Lydia Monfort and P. O. Monfort of the death of their brother, R. B. Monfort, aged 62 years, who died suddenly at Sarasota, Florida, Monday evening, of heart trouble.
A native of Warren county, Mr. Monfort was the son of Peter and Elizabeth Keever Monfort and was born near Waynesville. He was a graduate of Waynesville high school and later attended National Normal University at Lebanon. He was married in 1899 to Miss Abbie Ellis, at Harveysburg.
In 1935 he retired from the position of secretary and general manager of the Farquhar Furnace Company. He was an authority on heating and several of his articles were published in trade and technical papers. He was former mayor of Wilmington.
Survivors include his widow, and two children, Harold E. Monfort, of Wilmington, and Mrs. F. P. Merkle, of Annapolis, Md., and a brother and sister in Lebanon.
The body will arrive in Wilmington today and will be taken to the Arthur Funeral Home. Plans for the funeral are incomplete.
