Biographical Info
On June 25, 1855, William B. Munford was elected as president of the Memphis, Clarksville and Louisville Railroad. Munford, a native of Danville, Kentucky, moved to Clarksville in 1839 and ensconced himself in many aspects of the community before his death on July 9, 1859. Within a year of his appointment, he and fellow railroad officials met with their colleagues at the Memphis & Nashville in Paris, Tennessee, to examine a consolidation of their roads. The discussion did not yield a merger.
