Grandfather, Son and Grandson of Munsinger Family Working on Same House

In the construction of the new Speer bungalow in Howard there are busily engaged three generations of the Munsinger family:  M. M. Munsinger, contractor and builder; his father, Jay K. Munsinger--hale, hearty and still able to do a full man's work, and Virgil Munsinger, son of M. M.  and grandson of Jay K, 18 years old, full grown and will graduate from Howard H. S., with the Class of '26.

The Munsinger family is a notable tribe of active, industrious people.  John Munsinger, father of Jay K., who passed away in this city a few years ago, was 104 years old.  Jay K. has served Elk County two terms as Sheriff and the City of Howard two terms as mayor.  And Stewart Munsinger, present mayor or Howard, is one of J. K's sons.  A good family is the Munsinger family.
