The Munyon family certainly had an impact on Filer but I think they owned a grocery store.

I'd also contact the Twin Falls County Historical Society, Route 2, Filer, ID 83328 and ask if they do research and if they have County/City Directories or any information on the Munyon's.

I'd also contact the Twin Falls Historical Museum, 208-736-4675 in Filer and ask if they have any info on the family. Family members might have donated items over the years. Ask them too about a grocery store owned by the Munyon's.
