James C. Munson was called home by his Savior from his rural Warsaw home on Feb. 6, 2018. He was 74 years old.
James was born Aug. 10, 1943, in Warsaw, to Charles A. and Mable L. Holderman Munson. He spent his life in the local area and had attended the former Jefferson High School.
On April 23, 1965, James was united in marriage to Carol R. Boyer in the United Pentecostal Church of Warsaw. Together the two would share 36 years before her unexpected passing in February 2002.
