Monroe Perry was born in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana to Grofton and Margaret Hunter Perry. He was married to Alice Brown Perry. I remember Mr. Monroe Perry. I can recall seeing him on Sunday's at church with his hat, suit, and white shirt. Mr. Monroe was a very tall man. He didn't say many words or at least I never heard him talk a lot. At that time the church was named Gordon Chapel Church of God in Christ. It is located in Amite, Louisiana off HWY 1045. He was a well respected man in the African American community.
