"Gen. Edmond Munger
received his title in the war of 1812, being elevated to that position
in the army, and was in command of the troops at Dayton. Patriotism was
a predominant trait with the Munger family. They never lacked the nerve
and energy to make that manifest whenever occasion required; their father
having, come from under the despotic government of England, his descendants
have appreciated the value of liberty and just rights of citizens, and
were ever ready with their lives and their property to defend those rights.
Gen. Munger continued
in command, and to defend these frontiers until the rights of American
citizens were fully recognized and peace declared. An incident in Gen.
Munger's military life worthy of record, showing that although a General
in the army, he was not above any service that needed his attention. The
General was in his early life a blacksmith. During the war they used many
ox teams, and it was often difficult to get them properly shod by the
blacksmiths in those days, so the General sent home for his leather. apron,
and he then shod their oxen to his own liking. How many Generals in the
army in this day would condescend to shoe oxen or horses? "
