Thank you so very much for posting this obituary. Daisy Cooley Hunter was once my mother in law. Her youngest son Ronny was my husband. A family member thought to send me a funeral card but I did not have an obit. As Daisy was adopted as a young girl and her memory was not good these last years I really did not have much information on her side of the family. The information you have provided by posting this obituary is very much appreciated. I know my children will appreciate it also.

Do you have anything on JOHN HUNTER. He lived in Winamac, Indiana, which is between Chicago and Indianapolis. He was born in 1905 I believe and I don't know where. I do know he worked for a railroad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would appreciate a copy - Excel is fine. My grandfather worked on the railroad as a carpenter. Not sure if it was this line (Thomas Chester Mays).

The evidence is pointing strongly to this being the family of your Samuel, despite the conflicting birthplace information. Note that this Nickolas and Rosan is the same family that also appears in the 1910 census in Salem Twp., Pulaski Co., IN, with their son William (Willie in 1880).
