DOROTHY HUNT CALLED BY DEATH
END COMES SUDDENLY AFTER TWO-DAYS' ILLNESS WITH PTOMAINE POISONING
Mrs. Dorothy Smith Hunt, wife of Lieut. Jonathan Hunt of Fort Sill and sister of Mrs. J. Elmer Thomas, died at 3:50 Saturday afternoon at the Post hospital following a short illness. Death came suddenly as a result of a violent attack of ptomaine poisoning after it was thought Mrs. Hunt had passed the crisis.
Lieutenant Hunt was visiting his mother in Hot Springs, South Dakota, at the time. He was due back to the Post and home Monday. Sad news of the death of his wife reached him shortly before his intended return.
Mrs. Hunt had been staying with her sister, Mrs. Thomas, at Medicine Park during the absence of her husband. She returned to her home at Fort Sill Friday morning and was working there when seized with a sudden attack. She was taken to the Post hospital and had apparently improved Friday evening when it was thought all danger was passed.
Saturday morning, however, she took a turn for the worse, the illness having affected her heart. Gradually growing worse, death came at 3:50 Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Hunt was born in Waterloo, Ia, November 15, 1896. With her family she came to Lawton in 1901. She was raised in Lawton and attended the public schools here. Her father was Judge Wilford Smith, a prominent attorney of Lawton. Both her father and mother are deceased.
On August 2, 1918, she was married to Lieut. Jonathan Hunt of Fort Sill. Lieutenant Hunt is secretary of the Field Artillery School at the present time.
Besides her husband, she leaves three sister, Mrs. Edith Thomas, wife of Congressman Elmer Thomas of Medicine Park; Mrs. Fred Warner of Davenport, Iowa; and Mrs. Claud Bryant of Independence, Kansas.
No funeral arrangements had been made Saturday night, pending the return of Lieutenant Hunt and the receipt of word from her absent sisters. Ritter's have charge of the body.
The passing of Mrs. Hunt came as a distinct shock to not only her family but to a host of former schoolmates in Lawton and other friends in Lawton and Fort Sill. As a school girl and young woman, she was always popular in Lawton and later as a matron in the social circles of both this city and Fort Sill. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved relatives. (The Lawton Constitution, Sunday, August 12, 1923, p. 1).
