Biographical History of Cherokee County, Iowa
W. S. Dunbar & Co., Chigago - 1889

[page 544-545]

    GEORGE MUNDY, an enterprising and esteemed citizen of Willow Township,
    was born in Lincolnshire, England, July 7, 1834, and is the son of
    GEORGE and SARAH (SHEPARD) MUNDY.  When seventeen years of age he
    went to serve an apprenticeship as a butcher, which trade he has
    followed the greater part of his life.  Like man of England's sons,
    he was anxious to see America and try the life of a country not yet
    sunken into ruts and set notions of existence.  Accordingly he bade
    farewell to his home and friends, and sailed away to the New World.
    After landing he continued his journey to Iowa, and settled in Clinton
    County, at once resuming his former business.  When the Rebellion
    broke out he did not shrink from the duty of every American citizen,
    but went bravely to the defense of the old flag.  He enlisted in the
    Sixteenth Iowa Infantry, Company A, under command of Captain SMITH.
    After peace was declared he returned to Iowa, and engaged in farming
    a portion of the time, and was also occupied with butchering.  In
    1882 he came to Cherokee County and bought a farm of 160 acres in
    Willow Township, where he has since resided.  Mr. MUNDY was united
    in marriage, in 1864, to Miss MARY E. BOOTHLY, a daughter of
    CHRISTOPHER and MARY (GARNESS) BOOTHLY.  She was born in England,
    and when seven years old her parents emigrated to America, locating
    in Jackson County, Iowa.  Mr. and Mrs. MUNDY are the parents of four
    children: WILLIAM W., BENJAMIN F., CHRISTOPHER B. and ALGERI G.
    Politically our subject is a Republican, and the people of his
    township have shown their appreciation of his ability by calling
    him to serve as road supervisor and also as school director.
