Excerpt from History of Middlesex County, New Jersey, 1664-1920, Vol. 2: Historical and Biographical The disease of his eyes had been steadily developing; in 1879-80 he was obliged to abandon his art work; his condition improving, he opened the Rochester Art School, where he taught drawing and model ing. His power of vision was extremely limited and feeble, and most of his work had to be accomplished by the sense of touch. It was in this condition that he performed his two masterpieces, - the Soldiers' Monument in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery at tarrytown-on-hudson, which represents a vidette in the volunteer service, and is adjudged as the most graceful and spirited statue of a soldier in the country; the other heroic statue was that of Washington Irving, the work upon which proved a severe strain upon the artist's nerves, and marked diminution of sight. Materials for the statue were gathered and compared and studied by the aid of magnifying glasses. After eighteen months of arduous labor, in which the actual work was performed by the sense of touch, the statue was completed and received encomiums from all visitors. The statue was intended for a bronze casting to be placed on a granite pedestal in an open air location. The gifted author is represented sitting in an appropriate armchair, in his habitual easy manner while in conversation, the body well settled in an ample cushion, the limbs crossed in a natural and easy manner, the arms rest upon those of the chair, the head is slightly inclined to one side. And the countenance is illumined by a most genial and tender feeling. As a whole, the figure -is marked by a natural and easy posturing, and pre sents that happy combination of qualities so characteristic of Mr. Irving - modesty, dignity, and benevolence. Among Mr. Mundy's other works mention might be made of the statuettes of The Reaper, The Pilgrim and Columbia. His life came to a peaceful close at Geneva. New York, August 16, 1897.

Excerpt from History of Middlesex County, New Jersey, 1664-1920, Vol. 3: Historical Biographical He was deputy-surrogate of the county of Middlesex during the two terms of the Honorable Leonard Furman as surrogate from 1892 to 1902, and succeeded him through election to the office of surrogate. He was elected twice, and at his election in 1902 he ran nine hundred votes ahead of his ticket, and at his reelection in 1907 he was eighteen hundred votes ahead of his ticket. There was over a year and a half of his second term left when he was made county judge by Governor Wilson. During the period of the vvorld - wide War, Peter Francis Daly, through the profoundly efficient discharge of the broad and varied duties of his high Official county position - made abnormally onerous and exact ing by the extraordinary conditions of the times; through his distinctive genius in the work of organizing popular movements, his tireless energy, his stirring eloquence and his strong hold upon the imagination and good will of the people and their admiration for the intensity and zeal of his Americanism, was indisputably the most outstanding leader and chief spokesman of America's cause in this county of one hundred and sixty-eight thousand people and which embraces within its confines so many different racial strains.
