HARLAN MUNTZ – Muntz, Whitaker, Adams, Kennedy 11272 History of Kentucky, The Blue Grass State. Volume III Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago – Louisville, 1928, p. 141. J. HARLAN MUNTZ. Educational advancement in Shelby County has been stimulated by the well directed efforts of J. Harlan Muntz, the able superintendent of the public schools of Shelbyville. He was born December 26, 1891, in Harrison county, Kentucky, and is a son of Joseph Aaron and Mollie Kate (Whitaker) Muntz. His father followed the occupation of farming for many years and is now living retired in Georgetown, Kentucky. J. Harlan Muntz attended the public schools of Oddville and continued his studies in Berea College, from which he was graduated in 1916 with the degree of Bachelor of Science. He began his career as an educator in 1913, in a rural high school of Boone county, and during 1916 was a student instructor at Berea College. In 1917 he went to Georgetown, Kentucky, where he worked for two years, and in 1919 went to Henderson as director of manual arts. In 1921 he became principal of the Shelbyville high school, acting in that capacity until 1923, and he was then called to his present office. He is resourceful in meeting the various problems that are constantly arising in connection with his work and exerts his efforts to maintain the highest possible standard not only in scholarship but also as to discipline in the training of pupils for good citizenship. Mr. Muntz was married June 5, 1913, to Miss Lela Margaret Adams, a daughter of M. R. and Lucy (Kennedy) Adams, of Garrard county, Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. Muntz have become the parents of four children: Dorothy Mae, who was born November 23, 1914; Carl Magness, whose natal day was March 30, 1918; Margaret Kathryn, born November 25, 1920; and J. Harlan, Jr., born February 5, 1927. Mr. Muntz is an elder in the Christian church and shapes his conduct by its teachings. He is secretary of the Exchange Club of Shelbyville and also belongs to Kappa Delta Pi, a college fraternity. He has chosen a field of activity well suited to his talents, and although young in years, he has already become well established in his profession, while his enterprise and ability insure his continuous progress.
