Munro, James, farmer, was born at Banffshire, Scotland, January 14, 1845.
His parents were Donald and Ann Noble-Munro, to whom were born eight
children, the subject being the youngest. James left his native land at
the age of eighteen, coming directly to West Albany, where he has since
resided. He was soon followed to this country by his parents, who also
located in this township. Here the elder Munro died in 1869. His widow is
still living, and is a resident of Sibley county, Minnesota. December 8,
1866, James was united in marriage to Mrs. Margaret Kirkman-Corry, a
native of Lanark county, Ontario. They have one child, James N. His farm
consists of one hundred and twenty acres of rich land, with good
buildings. He and his wife are members of the Baptist church. He is a
republican in politics. For eight years he has held the office of town
clerk, and is one of the prominent citizens of the township.
