Monger were shocked upon receiving a telegram announcing that their son, Ora K., was dying of yellow fever, at Mexico City, Mexico. Following this telegram came another message, about eleven o'clock, this morning, conveying the sad intelligence of his death. The blow is a terrible shock to the family and was entirely without warning, as they had no intimation of his sickness. Ora Monger was born in Waterloo township, this county, July 9, 1874. He was reared in this city, where he was employed, up until abont five years ago, when he went to Indianapolis to accept a position at the Bates House.

A letter received by his family, several weeks ago, informed them that he was dissatisified with Mexico and was expected to return to the United States soon. When he left here, Ora was the picture of good health. He was a handsome young man and exemplary habits. He was exceptionally kind to his family and was quite a home favorite. His death will bring forth many a heartache from his family and be will also be sincerely mourned by his friends. The dispatch announcing his death was from Dr. Parsons, of the American Hospital, and it also stated that the remains would be interred, today, in the American cemetery.

     Richard Peters Munger was born on May 18, 1927 at Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., Ohio.^5,3 He married Doris Ansley on October 7, 1967.³ Richard Peters Munger died on September 12, 2018 at New Canaan, Fairfield Co., Connecticut, at age 91.³ He Richard "Rip" Peters Munger, 91, passed away on September 12, 2018 at his home in New Canaan. At his side were his wife, son and daughter. Rip died from complications caused by Inclusion Body Myositis and heart disease after enduring four months of hospitalizations, rehab facilities, and home nursing, all with grace and lack of complaint. His optimism, signature wink and the twinkle in his eye never left him throughout. Born on May 18, 1927 in Cincinnati, OH to Evalyn Peters Munger and Herschel Munger, Rip knew from his first ride in an old barnstormer biplane at the age of 10 that he wanted to be a pilot. After retiring from United Airlines in 2001 at the age of 74, he was fond of saying that he had never worked a day in his life. Flying was his passion, and he was paid to fly the biggest and best airliners in the world. What could be better? Rip's charmed life extended to his military service, as he joined the U.S. Navy and arrived at boot camp on August 14th, 1945–V-J Day. His goal of becoming a Navy pilot, however, required the perseverance that became a hallmark of his life. When he first applied for the Naval Aviation Cadet Program, the examiner informed him that his vision wasn't sharp enough and his blood pressure was too high, and bluntly said "You'll never be a pilot." Those words were devastating to young Rip, but bad news always had a way of rolling off his back, and being turned down just meant having to apply again. On his next try, Rip was told that not only was he too tall to be a Navy pilot, but that his overbite disqualified him as well (the 1940s oxygen masks wouldn't fit properly). Refusing to take no for an answer, Rip got the last laugh on the examiner when he was accepted to flight school in Pensacola after spending time in the ROTC programs at Cornell and the University of Cincinnati. He flew for six years out of Whidbey Island, Alaska, and Hawaii, including active duty during the Korean War. In 1952, Rip left the service to begin a fifty year career with United Airlines, starting as a co-pilot on DC-3's and ultimately flying captain on most of the aircraft types in United's fleet, up to and including the Boeing 747. Although aviation was his first love, Rip followed his passions in other directions as well. During the Cold War, he developed a concern for world peace and teamed up with three close friends (Charles Dent, Roger Enloe, and Al Teichmeier) to found the Business Council for the UN, which fostered education about the United Nations and its initiatives among business and labor leaders. Other projects included T+ (a gathering of UN Ambassadors and hijacked crew members in Montreal in 1971 to find a solution to the then-frequent worldwide airline hijackings); a project uniting surviving WWI aces of both sides in Paris to commemorate Armistice Day in 1981; and a successful endeavor to fulfill a dying wish of his friend Charles Dent by serving on the board of Leonardo da Vinci's Horse, Inc., which completed an unfinished da Vinci masterpiece. 'Il Cavallo,' a 24 foot tall bronze statue, was delivered as a gift to the people of Italy in 1999 and stands in Milan to this day. Rip also volunteered as a pilot for Project Orbis, a state-of-the-art flying eye hospital that treats patients and teaches doctors in underdeveloped nations. One of Rip's proudest contributions to the community was successfully petitioning to change local by-laws regarding age so that he could join the New Canaan Fire Company as a volunteer firefighter at age 50. He completed the training and later served on the fire commission for 22 years. Captain Rip met flight attendant Doris Ansley while flying a United Airlines DC-6 trip in May of 1965. Married on October 7, 1967, they lived in Manhattan and New Jersey before moving to New Canaan at the end of 1970, where daughter Kendra and son Geoffrey were born and raised. There never was a kinder, gentler, or more patient husband and father, and Rip's family knows how lucky they have been. People who met Rip once would remember him with deep fondness for years thereafter. Those who knew him well couldn't help but fall in love. Rip is survived and terribly missed by wife Doris, daughter Kendra, son Geoffrey, daughter-in-law Cary, and his granddaughter Andora. He is also missed by his brother-in-law Clive, niece Susan (Tim), niece Melanie (Sam), nephew Bevan, great nephew Dexter and great niece Artemis. on September 26, 2018.³
