Zach, This one might be incorrectly id'd. There is only one Jacob Munch on Find a Grave. He is from Fort Valley and had a grandson named Orie Autry Munch as Jeanette indicated. However, Jacob Munch lived from 1849-1928. He would have been over 60 when this photo was taken (if the box date is correct) but the man pictured seems a lot younger. Also he does not match the physical description that his grandson described. The photo on Find-A-Grave does not look like the one we tagged either.
Perhaps this is one of Jacob's sons?
