Mrs. Calvin Hunter Dead

"The Star regrets to chronicle the death of Mrs. Calvin C. Hunter, which occurred at the family residence early Monday morning. She was sick but two or three days and the
direct cause is not exactly understood. Mrs. Hunter was in her seventy-sixth year, having been born in Hawkins County, Tenn., 3-28-1832. Her maiden name was Martha J. Eidson and she was married to Calvin C. Hunter at her old home. During the trying scenes of the war when her husband was in the Confederate army Mrs. Hunter kept the home together and looked after the welfare of the family, six sons and niece, all of whom survive her. She was a most capable woman and was a true type of Southern womanhood. Her whole life was devoted to the cause of Christ and she will long be remembered as an ideal wife and mother and a good neighbor. Her worthy deeds will live after her. A husband, six sons and a niece, whom she reared, *(Mrs. Isham Burnett of North Dakota), mourn her death. The sons
are all well known, being John W. Hunter of Knob Noster, W.E. of Montana, Sam F., Warrensburg, Hillery, Knob Noster, R.W. of Fayetteville, Ark., and Chas S. of Knob
Noster. The Star extends condolences to the bereaved family. The funeral will be held at the Christian church Tuesday at 11 o'clock.
