SAMUEL SIBLEY HUNT. Obit, October 1910
Samuel Sibley Hunt, 72, prominently identified with the business
life of Brattleboro nearly 30 years, died very suddenly early Tuesday
evening. He had not been feeling as well as usual several days, but
had been at the factory of the S.A. Smith company throughout each day,
as had been his custom many years. His death came without the
slightest warning, and under circumstances which deeply affected his
relatives and associates. Mr. Hunt drove regularly between his house
and factory in his daily trips. He was seen shortly after 6 o'clock
by two employees of the factory after he had harnessed his horse. He
started to drive out of the factory yard, but probably feeling
indisposed drove back again. No one saw him after this, but he
undoubtedly sustained a shock and fell from his carriage. He
frequently took men from the factory to their homes, so that his
failure to reach home promptly was not surprising for some time. When
Mrs. Hunt became alarmed and sought assistance there was some delay in
finding G.H. Boorn, a neighbor and employee at the factory, and in
reaching Frank L. Hunt by telephone. These two men started for the
factory about the same time. After some search they found Mr. Hunt's
horse and carriage in the upper end of the mill yard. A few minutes
later the body of Mr. Hunt was found a short distance from the
automobile house and only a few rods from the barn. Dr. H.P. Greene,
who soon arrived, found that life had been extinct but a short time.
The body was taken to Moran & Co's undertaking rooms and the following
day was borne to the home on Green street. The funeral will be held
in the home this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
