"James Franklin Hunt, May 7, 1858 - June 11, 1917
A native of Parowan, Utah, where his parents camped on their way from San Bernardino to Ogden.

J. Frank Hunt grew up on a ranch near Oxford, Idaho. (His father, a Nauvoo legion major and a Mormon Battalion captain, assisted C. C. Rich in founding San Bernardino, where he lived until that settlement was recalled to Utah during Albert Sidney Johnston's Utah campaign.)

Frank Hunt became a Mormon missionary and bishop before completing fourteen years of legislative service (1895-1896, 1901-1910, and 1913-1914), including three terms as speaker (1903-1908) followed by two more as state senator.

Nominated as a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in 1898, he lost to a Silver Republican-Democratic nominee. He also was appointed an Idaho State Reform School trustee after serving as a legislative sponsor for that institution."
