Hugh Munce was born in Ireland in the year 1827. At the age of 22, Hugh emigrated to the United States (1849). Two years later, he obtained citizenship and settled in Bradley Maine. He married Hannah Cram of that town and then raised over a dozen children. By the 1870s, the Munce family had moved to Fort Fairfield where Hugh farmed for many years. The photograph (tin type) below, taken by J.B. Smart of Presque Isle in what seems to be the 1890s, shows five of the Munce sisters. The numbers were on the photograph when the photo was purchased on-line. The numbers correspond to the names listed on the back.

School Teacher. 2. Abbie: Born 1868. Married a man named Warren? 3. Minnie: Born 1868. Possibly maried George Marlin of Oregon. 4.
