Henry Munger, well known and
highly esteemed in Cedar Falls and
vicinity, peacefully and triumphantly
passed from the dark shadows and
conflicts of life to the realms of celestial
light and seraphic joy on the 27th
ult., at his home in Fayette, Iowa.
The deceased had his birth in Claverrack,
Columbia Co., New York, April
llth, 1809. Early in life he became a
Christian and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church when a young
man. He was married May 7th, 1831,
to Agnes Mcfarlane, unto whom ten
children were born. In 1856 he moved
on a farm near Cedar Falls, where, in
1869, his wife died. In 1870 he moved
to Fayette, Iowa, where he was married
to Mrs. Webb, who survives him.
His disposition was happy and
cheerful, his tastes simple. He was
quiet and unassuming in manner,
averse to display, his Christian faith
strong and sincere. "
In the last few weeks of his life,
though daily weaker and suffering
much, he was never heard to complain.,
He leaves his wife, six children and
many relatives and friends to mourn;
The remains were brought to this
city Saturday night and the funeral
services were held at the M. E. church

present except the wife, who was
unable to come, and two sons.
