Death of John H. Lunt
Died, In Plattsburgh, June 11,1886, Mr. JOHN
H. LUNT, aged 52 years.
He was born at Orono, Me., June 5th,
1834, and came to Plattsburgh with his
parents, in 1860. At the breaking out of
the Rebellion he enlisted in the 44th New
York Zouaves, better known as the "Ellsworth
Avengers," and served three years.
He was wounded in one of the engagements
in which this famous Regiment took an
active part.
In 1864 he was married to Martha, eldest
daughter of Mr. H. Bartlett, of Redford.
For many years he was engaged in active
work on the Saranac river, but for the
past five years has been employed as a
guide in the Adirondacks and at Saranac
Lakes, by Charles M. Lee, of Philadelphia,
whose wife was an invalid and under treatment
at this noted resort.
Mr. Lunt's health commenced to fail him
several years ago, but it was thought to be
nothing serious until last Fall, when he
was obliged to seek medical aid, and it was
decided that he was suffering from a cancer
in the stomach. After months of intense
suffering, it resulted in his death,
June 11th, 1886.
During his long illness he was surrounded
by friends and every medical aid was
used to alleviate his intense sufferings.
Having sought and found a hope in
Christ, his heart-stricken friends were consoled
in his triumphant death.
He leaves a wife and six children, and
a large circle of friends to mourn his
death.
His funeral was largely attended last
Sunday afternoon from the First M. E.
Church, Clinton Lodge, No. 155, F. & A
M., and Benedict Post, G. A. R. partici-
pating, he having been a member of both
organizations.
