He was united in marriage July 12, 1909 to Miss Lena Semorah Marler, of Bonne Terre, and to this union four children were born, one dying in infancy. Mr. Hunt professed faith in Christ November, 1931 in his home during the evangelistic campaign under the direction of Rev. Kane of East St. Louis, and the local pastor. He united immediately thereafter with the First Baptist Church at Bonne Terre, where he remained a consistent member. He was an employee of the M.R. & B.T. Railway for about 27 years, serving in the capacity of fireman. He was actively engaged in this capacity up until two years ago, when because of lack of railroad business, it necessitated many of the railroad men being released from regular duty. He had been on the sick list for some time, suffering from stomach ailment. On last Sunday he was rushed to the Missouri Pacific Hospital where he underwent an appendicitis operation on Monday morning from which he did not recover. At the time of his death, he was 42 years, 11 months and 27 days of age. He is survived by his beloved wife, three children, Fulton, Lewis and Durwood of Bonne Terre; one sister, Mrs. M. Cunningham of Flat River; one brother, C. M. Hunt of Minneapolis, Minn.; four half sisters, Mrs. E. C. Morton, Margaret C. Hunt, Hay Springs, Neb., Mrs. Floyd Meyer and Reba Hunt of Farmington; three half brothers, E. J. Hunt, Lee Hunt and J. H. Hunt of Farmington.
