years of age, and followed the industry of farm- ing all his life, dying at the age of eighty- eight years. His wife survives him and now, at the age of eighty-four years, resides with her son. Angus John remained wiht his father until the latter's death, then bought a small farm in Canada, but later sold it and came to Champaign County, Ill., where in 1896, he purchased from the University of Illinois, 160 acres of land on Section 21, paying $80 per acre for it. This proved an excellent invest- ment; although the place was devoid of build- ings, it had been thoroughly drained at the State's expense. He erected here a substan- tial dwelling house and barn, and the farm is now well worth $200 per acre. He has added to his first purchase, and now owns in all 320 acres, on which corn and oats are his staple product.

REV. WILLIAM MUNHALL .- For many years, both before and during the war period, as the editor and publisher of a local paper, as shown at length in a previous chapter, and at one time, for a period of four years, holding the office of Treasurer and Assessor for Cham- paign County, Mr. Munhall was as well known as any man of the county. Added to this, for many years in Ohio, before coming to Illinois, he was a popular and useful pastor in the . English lady.
Protestant Methodist Church, and, after taking up his residence in Illinois, was equally popu- lar as an
.
occasional substitute in local churches, particularly as a regular supply for some months in the Congregational Church at Champaign. The marriage records for a long time attest his popularity as an offici- ating clergyman at many happy events in that time.
Mr. Munhall was born at Harrisburg, Pa., on May 30, 1816. Before reaching his majority he united with the church and soon thereafter was admitted to its active ministry. His serv-
ice in this relation must have extended over a period of twenty years before coming to Illi- nois. Here, there being then no organization of his church, he united with the local Method- ist Episcopal Church, and filled its pulpit upon many occasions, always attracting by his logic and eloquence good congregations. He had a remarkable command of language, and with a good memory of the standard poetry, his dis- courses were embellished with · beautiful and apt quotations from the English classics, both of poetry and prose. His ability and efficiency in the pulpit was far above that of the average clergyman, and all the pulpits of both towns were open to, and frequently occupied, by him.
Mr. Munhall was married in 1839, at Browns- ville, Pa., to Dorothy F. Jackson, who survived him at their home in Urbana for several years. He died while temporarily with a sister in Cleveland, Ohio, March 9, 1864, but his remains repose in the family lot at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Urbana.
William H. Munhall of Champaign, and S. C. Munhall of Watseka, both well known to the people of Champaign County, are sons of Rev. Mr. Munhall.
WILLIAM HENRY MUNHALL, a well- known resident of Champaign, Champaign County, Illinois, who is engaged in the print- ing and publishing business, was born July 26, 1850, at Brownsville, Ohio. He is a son of Rev. William Munhall, a native of Chambers- burg, Pennsylvania, and Dorothy F. (Jackson) Munhall, who was born in England. His pa- ternal grandfather was Thomas Munhall, born in Ireland, who married a native of Pennsyl- vania, and his maternal grandfather was James Jackson, born in England, who married an
