Calvin C. Hunter died at Missoula, Montana, Wednesday, October 8, after a short illness with heart trouble.
The body is to be brought to Warrensburg for interment by the grave of his wife, in the City Cemetery. The funeral party arrived here Tuesday morning from Montana, and went on to Knob Noster. The funeral will be held at the Warrensburg Christian church tomorrow at 11 a.m. conducted by Rev. C.W. West.
Calvin C. Hunter was born in South Carolina, where he grew to young manhood. At the age of 20 he removed to Tennessee where he was married in 1856. When the war came on he enlisted in Smith's Brigade and served four years in the thick of the fight between the states, having arisen to the rank of lieutenant. One of his experiences was the siege of Vicksburg.
After the war Mr. Hunter returned to Tennessee, and in 1870 he removed with his family to Johnson County, Missouri, where he has spent the balance of his life. During his many years residence here Mr. Hunter was a highly esteemed citizen and took a leading part in the development of this county, socially, religiously. He was one of the founders of the Prairie View Christian church, south of Warrensburg and helped to build the present house of worship. He had been an active worker in the church since 1874.
He reared a family of six boys, one daughter and a niece. They are John W., Hillery and Charles, at Knob Noster; Sam F. near Warrensburg: W.E. and R. W. in Montana; The daughter, *Mrs. P.A. Riggle, and also the niece, **Mrs. Isham Burnett, reside in North Dakota.
Mr. Hunter's wife died about six years ago. He has spent most of his time since that sad event with his sons in Montana.
A large number of friends and acquaintances in Johnson county deeply sympathize with the bereaved family, all of whom are among our most esteemed citizens.
