    • Below is the 1888 Will Co. Necrologist entry for Jonathan's death:
      In the year 1836, our township received an important addition to its population. Jonathan Muncey, John E. WARD, James, STEVENS, H. SHORTS, Eban JONES, and Thomas CULBERTSON, all from the little state of Delaware, took up their residence here, locating in the eastern part of the township (Joliet Twp.). The death of Mr. Muncey, which occurred July 24, 1888, leaves Mr. Culbertson the only survivor of the six. Mr. Muncey bought a claim, sec. 13, the claim to which he afterwards obtained at the sale of canal lands. He was born in Kent county, Delaware. After coming here he worked at his trade of carpentering, and built the old Wheeler house still standing near the Red Mill. He also built the first house at Five Mile Grove for Ephraim PERKINS. Mr. Muncey was an industrious, quiet, reliable citizen, well known and highly regarded by all our older citizens. He was at his death, almost eighty-nine years old.
