(New Harmony Times 19 May 1935)
Death came as a blessed release to Mrs. Elizabeth Hunter at the country home of her daughter, Mrs. Cora Streamer, last Wednesday. Several years ago she underwent an operation at the Weber Sanitarium and just when complete recovery was within reach, arthritis developed from which she suffered until the close of her life.
Elizabeth Pote was born on the old farm East of New Harmony, the daughter of Thomas B. and Rachel Edwards Pote, Jan 21, 1855 and died May 15, 1935 aged 80 years, 4 months and 16 days. Part of her early education was received in the New Harmony schools and her classmates enjoyed going home with her for brief visits.
She was married to F.P. Hunter September 8, 1878 and three children were born to them. Ida; Thomas an infant son who lived but a year and Cora. The early years of their married life were spent in the country. Mr. Hunter was a good farmer, stock raiser and an excellent business man. Mrs. Hunter was a most estimable woman, a fine housewife and a frugal helpmate - one whose interests were woven around her home and its activities and a splendid neighbor. Their later years were spent in town where Mr. Hunter died in June, 1928.
After a brief period Mrs. Hunter was comvinced that failing health would not permit her to live alone so she made her home with her granddaughter and later with her daughter. The funeral was held from the Streamer home Thursday afternoon at 3:30 in charge of Rev. Morin, paster of the M.E. church, and she was buried on Maple Hill beside her husband.
Surviving here are two daughters, Mrs. Frank Fox and Mrs. Clarence Streamer; four granddaughters, Mrs. Russell Richards, Helen, Imogene and Betty Streamer; one great granddaughter, Carolyn Richards; a sister, Mrs. Susan Kemmerling; several nieces and nephews and a host of friends. A sister Mary and two brothers Henry and Morris Pote died before her.
Tennyson's poem, "Crossing the Bar" which had been read at Mr. Hunter's funeral was repeated for Mrs. Hunter.
"Sunset and evening star,
and one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
For tho' from out our bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar."
