Excerpt from Our Pioneer Heritage, Vol. 1, p. 475
Mother, Matilda was taken in labor 22 October 1865, and gave birth to twin girls, Jane, (called Jennie, and still living at this writing age 93 -Jane "Jennie" Hunt Lewis) in Santa Monica, California and Janette.
Matilda was very ill. The doctor from Logan could do nothing to save her life.
The infant Janette lived only long enough to receive a name, then was buried in the arms of her mother. They were buried in an unidentified grave in the Millville cemetery. By the time Captain Hunt could be reached and get to Millville, he found his wife and babe dead and buried. His grief was intense. He had a great gift of healing and felt that if he could have reached her side he could have healed her. He had withstood many a hardship, but this was grief almost unbearable. Matilda Nease Hunt had won the love and admiration of all who knew her. Her memorial marker was placed by the side of her husband's grave at Red Rock, near Preston, Idaho. — Pauline Udall Smith
