History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 758. [Nicholas County] [Carlisle City and Precinct] FITCH MUNGER (deceased), died March 26, 1866, in the forty-ninth year of his age; he was no ordinary character, but the highest type of a gentleman of the old school with the energy of the new. Mr. Munger removed from Lewis County, N. Y., the place of his nativity to Kentucky, upon his arrival at the years of manhood, without means, a stranger in the midst of strangers, unaided, save by his own indomitable energy and irreproachable morals and habits. From the humble though honorable calling of school teacher, he soon joined the ranks of the legal profession and settled at Carlisle; his integrity and sense of honor were of the highest type; he laid contributions on and brought to the aid of an unflagging industry the most rigid rules of punctuality, system and order. Before these fine qualities, his native strength of intellect and the best social qualities, all difficulties and obstacles in the way of his progress vanished. Honored by the citizens of Mason and Nicholas Counties with a seat in the Kentucky Senate, his usefulness took a more exalted and general range, and the inestimable qualities mentioned made him one of the best of legislators. His services reflected high credit upon his constituency, the general good was advanced and his right to public favor and esteem fully assured. He was a son of Roswell and Marvin (Palmer) Munger, natives of Copenhagen, N. Y.; she a daughter of John Palmer and a Miss Usher. He was married Feb. 7, 1844 to Miss Mary Summers, who was born in Montgomery County, Feb. 8, 1820, to Archibald and Margaret (Payne), she a native of Scotland, he of Virginia. Mr. Munger by this marriage had two sons: Charles W. (see history), and Harry, born Oct. 13, 1857; he was married May 8, 1880, to Miss Carrie Nichols, a native of New York State, and daughter of Rev. W. B. and Harriet (Munger) Nichols; he a prominent divine in the M. E. Church of that State. He and his mother are carrying on a general farming and stock raising at their beautiful home in the suburbs of Carlisle. They are a family highly respected by the citizens of their community.
