ALEXANDER J. MUNDY, farmer and lumberman, Brooks Township, section 13, was 
born March 18, 1851, in Morrow 

Co., Ohio.  His father, Elinus Mundy, is of Scotch descent, and was born Feb. 
15, 1821, in New Jersey.  

His mother, Experience Patience (Peters) Mundy, was born of Welsh ancestors, 
Feb. 24, 1822, in New York, 

and died March 28, 1876, in Brooks Township.  John D. Mundy, father of Elinus, 
was born in New Jersey June 

30, 1788, and died Aug. 8, 1855.  Elizabeth (Ballou) Mundy, his mother, was of 
French parentage, born Jan. 

16, 1797, and died Nov. 26, 1860.

In 1862 Mr. Mundy of this sketch came to Newaygo with his parents. His father 
bought 80 acres of land, and 

afterwards 166 acres more.  The son owns 67 acres of this and carries on 
lumbering operations thereon.  He 

adds to his calling the trade of blacksmith, which he acquired in the shop of 
his father, for whom he 

worked six years.  He spent four years in wagon-making, and served an 
apprenticeship of four years in 

learning the trade of builder.  He possesses energy and the inclination to 
meet all demands on his varied 

qualifications, and is a valuable accessory to a pioneer community.  He is a 
Democrat in political 

sentiment.  (See sketch of John A. Mundy.)
