Funeral services were held Saturday morning, March 26, in the Methodist Church for Mrs. Goldie Hunter, 65, wife of W. Jack Hunter, who died at her home here on March 24, (1949), following an illness of almost four years.
Mrs. Hunter was born in Fulton County, Pa., a daughter of the late Abner and Anna Runyan Morgret. She came here with her parents when a small girl and had lived here ever since.
She was a member of the Methodist Church, devoting most of her time to its activities, to her home and to the welfare of others. For many years she was president of the Woman's Society for Christian Service and directed the work of that missionary group.
A host of friends crowded the church to hear the pastor, the Rev. T. W. Sunderland, pay a well deserved tribute to Mrs. Hunter. He said, "In the death of Mrs. Hunter the community has lost one of the most valuable and cherished citizens." Due to her many acts of kindness, he compared her to three women of the Bible by saying, "In the Sacred Book we read of a woman called Doprcas "whose life was full of good and charitable deeds which she was constantly doing." There has walked among us a Dorcas, and our hearts have felt the unmistakable warmth of her deeds.
"Paul the Apostle, writing to young Timothy, makes reference to the "unfeigned faith" that possessed Eunice, the mother of Timothy. There has lived among us another Eunice, and we have been indelibly touched by her contagious and unpretentious faith.
"In another writing Paul introduces the bearer of the letter to Phoebe, "a servant of the Church...who has befriended many including the writer." There has served among us a Phoebe to which every churchman and citizen will attest.
"The good deeds of Dorcas, the faith of Eunice, the service of Phoebe, we have been beautifully manifest in the life of one whom members of the church and community have learned to affectionately call "Goldie." The home, the church, the community, the state, the nation, yes, the world-all today are richer because she lived, walked and served in them."
Surviving besides her husband are two children, Mrs. Ralph Hovermale and Jack M. Hunter, both of Berkeley Springs; a foster sister, Mrs. J. C. Shrives, Connellsville, Pa., and three grandchildren. Bearers were Fred Ambrose, Paul B. Hodges, Vernon Weber, Varnell Barney, E. Millard Dunham and Charles Newbraugh. Interment was in Greenway Cemetery.
Here from out of the county to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Shives and son, Jack, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lucky, of Connellsville, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Hunter, of Elkins, Mrs. Reid Isaac, Miss Elizabeth Isaac and Oliver Isaac, of Baltimore, Md.; Rev. and Mrs. F. Paul Harris, of Washington, D. C.; Rev. and Mrs. Bernard Barnes and Philip Hunter, Charles Town; Mrs. R. A. Compton and Miss Lillie Compton, of Cumberland, Md.; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Enroughty, Norfolk, Va.; Mrs. Harry McKinley, Miss Delores McKinley and Roy Daniels, of Hancock, Md.; Charles Runyan, Warfordsburg, Pa., and Miss May Lindsay, of Martinsburg.
