Ionia Daily Sentinel, 20 Nov 1905

Merritt Munger was born at Batavia, Genesee Co., New York, on Dec. 8, 1842, and
died of consumption at Ionia, Mich., Nov. 16, 1905, at the age of 62 years, 11
mo., 14 days.  He was united in marriage with Miss Josephine Gunn; to them were
born three children: Daniel Munger, of this city and Mary Munger of Clarksville,
a daughter having preceded in death.

He was left a widower and was again married to Miss Florence Smith on Jan. 1,
1890; to this union five children were born, all of whom survive.

Mr. Munger has lived in this community the greater part of his life and was
known among a large circle of friends.  He was a member of the I.O.O.F., William
Borden Post No. 211 and Ionia Lodge No. 36, Masons all of which were largely
represented to pay their last tribute of respect to a fellow citizen and
Brother.  He was also formally a member of the M.E. church and during his last
sickness was conscious of the sustaining help of God.

An affectionate address was given by the Rev. W.R. Currier of the Evangelical
church based upon the words of Christ found in Mark 13:37. 

Thus falls another of our respected citizens, a good neighbor and kind to all
who knew him.

He leaves a wife, seven children, one brother, one sister and many other
relatives and friends to mourn their loss.  The remains were laid to rest in
Balcom cemetery.
