Born into a family of hard-working, God-fearing farmers, Ezra Hunt was known and respected by all who knew him for his honesty, integrity and deep Christian faith. It was often said by those who knew him that if a person ever had a moral dilemma, the solution was to "go talk to Ezra Hunt, and whatever he tells you to do, do it, because that'll be the right thing to do".
He married Nettie Byers at Oakman, OK on August 6, 1916. In their 46 years of marriage, they raised 8 daughters and 4 sons, weathered a Depression, a world war, and many a hard time, but they never lost their faith in God.
In addition to providing for a wife and 12 children, chopping cotton, farming, blacksmithing, running a sorghum molasses mill, raising hunting dogs and driving a road grader for the county, Ezra Hunt still found time to serve as a deacon of the Free Will Baptist Church at Wilson, OK, and to offer a helping hand, a sympathetic ear and sound Christian advice and guidance to anyone in need.
On Sunday, July 15, 1962, while stretching a section of barbed-wire fence around his barn, he suffered a heart attack and was rushed to Valley View Hospital in Ada, OK, where he remained for over a week. His condition improved and the doctors scheduled his release for Wednesday,July 25. But shortly after midnight on July 25th, a heart attack in his sleep ended his earthly sojourn, and a world in which he was a treasure to all who knew him was made poorer by his passing.
