Unless there was more than one Harlow Munger, mason, born in Indiana, the information provided here pertains to the same man. He appears to have had three wives: Eliza (Ethyl?) Bennett, Frances Emily (maiden surname?), and Nancy Keefover Bartlow Munger. He had at least two children, John Henry Munger and Dexter Munger. John Munger's death certificate lists his mother as "Frances Emily," but most probably, given his year of birth, his mother was Eliza (Ethyl?) Bennett. Dexter's mother was surely Frances Emily.
This information is from his death certificate:
Aged 86 years. Stone mason. Male. White. Widower. Cause of death: senile dementia. Father: Dexter Munger, who was born in Indiana. Mother's name unknown. Had been at the hospital for 10 months and 2 days. Usual residence: Eagle, Idaho. Informant: Stella Thompson of Blackfoot, Idaho. [This might be the Stella Thompson listed as a nurse in the 1925 Boise City Directory.] Place of burial: Asylum cemetery. Buried 28 Sep 1926.
