Notes	Thomas and his wife left Canada and located first near the town of Wabasha, MN where he engaged in farming. Some years later he moved to North Dakota where he lived the remainder of his life. Farmer, living at Grafton ND in 1915. Peter Munro (1934) remembers Thomas Munro as a very entertaining old gentleman who enjoyed smoking his pipe and discussing events of by-gone years. On his farm in North Dakota was an artesian well, quite close to the house. This well was a source of much interest to the writer who had never seen a well of this nature before. [9, 10]
