General Notes: Husband - William Munnel

---

An early settler of New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, he was a blacksmith, and put up his cabin on the ground later occupied by Shaw & Waddington's iron foundry. It was a long building, built of logs, and divided into three compartments-a dwelling at one end, a horse stable in the middle, and a blacksmith's shop in the other end.

He was a curious character. He claimed to be a Christian and always had family worship. But he had a habit of profanity, which he apparently could not overcome, and it is said that, if excited, he would stop suddenly in the midst of a prayer and curse roundly, and then finish his prayer as calmly as if nothing serious had happened.
