Munson Millionaire. The first one in America.

Alfred Munson was born in Connecticut in 1823. The Munson Record states that he was the first Munson in America to become a millionaire. I am sure there have been more. He started out manufacturing buhr-millstones and ended up the owner of steamboat lines on Lake Ontario and owner of coal-lands. His last years were spent in Utica, New York and he was a leading citizen there. At one time he was the richest man in Oneida County. He sorta looks like a millionaire, huh?
