Munsonville, New Hampshire.

A distant cousin of mine, Alvin Munson was born in 1802. He was a manufacturer of cotton goods in Nelson, New Hampshire. When a Post office was to be  established, he gave $200 for beginning a library, in consideration of which the name of the village was changed to Munsonville. $200 was a lot of money in the 1800s.
