Hiram L. Munday was here Saturday from West Milford. He is one of the substantial citizens of the county and will likely announce himself for the Republican nomination for county commissioner, a number of men from various sections of the county having insisted on his running for the office.

The Clarksburg Telegram., July 27, 1906

Excerpt–
Hiram L. Munday, candidate for county commissioner, was in Clarksburg Saturday, probably nailing a few loose boards on the political fence. Mr. Munday is certainly in that class from which good court timber may be selected, and we feel certain that no mistake will be made if he is made the Republican standard bearer.

Mill and Damn Near West Milford

Clarksburg is indebted to Captain Hiram L. Munday, of West Milford, for a large fresh water supply. As a matter of precaution Scott G. Highland, secretary of water works and sewerage board, went to West Milford Tuesday afternoon, where through the courtesy of Captain Munday a mill dam of water in the West Fork river was opened, giving the city much more water in its dam. Captain Munday was under no obligations whatever to permit the dam to be opened, but his life has ever been characterized by consideration for others and in this instance he readily extended a courtesy Clarksburg people will not soon forget.
