"The LaFayette Sun" - 1939:
Three Score And Ten--And Still Going Strong.
Rev. George D. Hunt, the present pastor of Antioch Christian Church, First Christian Church Roanoke, Rock Stand and Noon Day Churches, was born in Lee County, Alabama, September 9, 1869; his 70th birthday will be celebrated at Antioch. Brother Hunt invites all his relatives, friends, and the people he has pastored to be present for the day.
Brother Hunt was reared in Tallapoosa County and attended the common schools and later New Hope Institute under Prof. A.P. Fuquay. He was licensed to preach at Beulah Church in 1885 and ordained to the full work of the Gospel ministry at Pleasant Grove Church the first Sunday in October, 1886. He served Pleasant Grove as pastor for 33 years and New Hope and Antioch for 24 consecutive years each, and now he has served Antioch for 27 years.
He gave his service on Sundays and in the week days to the church he loved, often driving 45 miles to his appointments, and for a very meager salary. He served one church for the sum of ten cents, traveling on horseback, road cart, buggy and car. One of the outstanding monuments to his labors is the organization and building of the First Christian Church Roanoke.
He has served as pastor of Beulah, Christiana, Christian Home, McGuire's Chapel, Macedonia, New Harmony, Spring Hill, Mt. Zion, Bethany, Forest Home, LaGrange, Ga., Richland, Ga., Red Hill, Ga., Langdale, and Lanett Christian churches. He has traveled more miles, preached more funerals, raised more money for denominational purposes than any other preacher in his conference, having been engaged in active service for 53 years.
On December 25, 1893, he was married to Miss Minnie A. Vickers, who passed away February 26, 1939. To them have been born six children; one girl and one boy died in infancy. All of the four living children have been teachers, and Rev. G.S. Hunt is now engaged in the ministry at Weeping Water, Nebraska.
Brother Hunt attributes his success as a minister in a large way to the loyalty and cooperation of his wife and children. They have made a wonderful contribution to the church of his choice and to the communities in which they have lived.
