Born in the State of New York, Utica, Oneida county, in 1829. He lived with his father in Utica until he was nine years of age, when his family moved to Illinois, locating thirty miles west of Chicago, in DuPage county. Mr. Muncey resided at home upon the farm until his father's death, which took place in 1840. His oldest brother being married, and the next one soon after, it devolved upon him and a brother next older than himself to look after the farm and care for their mother. In 1866 Mr. Muncey moved to this county, and engaged in stock raising and farming, often having on hand as high as two hundred head of cattle at a time. In 1867 he broke seventy acres of land and sowed it all to wheat. He owns three hundred and fifty acres of land and controls it all, besides being interested in a creamery with Messrs. Miller & Harris. He was married in 1856 to Mrs. Hulda Arnold, of DuPage county, Illinois. Mr. Muncey is very pleasantly situated in a beautiful home just in the suburbs of Jesup. Though over fifty years of age, he is full of life and vigor; he is one of the moving elements in the business circles of the town. Mr. Muncey was elected to represent Buchanan County in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth General Assemblies, 1880-1882, as a straight, square Republican.
