Munger, Orlo B., merchant, is a native of Addison county, Vermont, but
nearly all his life has been spent in Minnesota. He was born in Orwell,
September 28, 1855. His father, J. M. Munger, was a native of the same
state, and his mother (Malvina L. Beldin) was born in Johnstown,
Wisconsin. In 1857 J. M. Munger settled in Washington county, this state,
on a farm. Here this subject was raised, attending the common school till
fifteen years old, when he began firing on a railroad engine. Three years
later took up millwright work. In June, 1881, he was employed on the
Mazeppa mill, again in September, 1882. While here he formed the
acquaintance of Miss Isabel Taft, to whom he was married December 27,
1881. In March, 1883, he bought an interest in the stove and hardware
stock here, and is now manager of the business of Taft & Munger, his
partner being A. J. Taft elsewhere sketched in this work. He has one son,
Walter Lawrence, born October 7, 1882. He is a republican, and a member of
the Masonic order.
