The mother has been in poor health for a number of years but the happiest moments were when she and all of her family at home. She was always doing something to help others. She never complained of her lot, even though sometimes the road was rough and the cross heavy. As late as Saturday she whispered she was getting better. And on Tuesday evening when some of the family suggested calling the doctor, Mrs. Hunter asked them not to do so. She said she was ready to go. Although weakening rapidly she was conscious until the last.
She leaves to mourn her passing her husband, four children, twelve grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Minnie Horton and one brother, James Morgaridge both of Havelock, Nebraska.
