        ADOLPH E. MUNKEL is one of the vital and progressive business men
of Columbus, where he is president of the Munkel-Lamneck Company, furnace
manufacturers and heating engineers.
        Mr. Munkel was born at Port Washington, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, on
the 25th of April, 1883, and is a son of Emil and Sarah (Barnhouse) Munkel,
the former of whom was born in the City of Dresden, Saxony, Germany, and
the latter of whom was born and reared in Ohio. The subject of this sketch
has been a resident of Columbus since he was a lad of fifteen years, his

twenty years Mr. Munkel was associated with the W.E. Lamneck Company,
manufacturers of coal and gas furnaces, and in the meanwhile he gained
experience both in the office affairs of the concern and as a salesman of
its products. In 1918, he established the Munkel-Lamneck Company, which is
incorporated under the Ohio laws, and of which he has been president from
the time of organization. This company has developed a substantial business
in the manufacturing of furnaces, and in the general handling and
installing of coal and gas furnaces, radiant-fires, ranges, etc., besides
controlling a prosperous business as heating and ventilating engineers. Mr.
Munkel has long been known as an expert and an authority in these lines,
and has own secure status as one of the loyal and progressive business men
of the Ohio capital city. He was for two years president of the Ohio Sheet
Metal Trades Association, is a member of the Exchange Club, is a
thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason and a Shriner, and is affiliated
also with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. In 1921 he was
elected president of the Columbus Builders Exchange, and in his year of
administration in this office he found another opportunity to manifest his
marked civic loyalty. The maiden name of his wife was Emma Roehr, and they
have one daughter, Josephine.
