Arthur Milton Hunter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hunter, was born in Lincoln county, Kansas, at Harmony 12 miles north of Lincoln, Oct. 15, 1906, and fell asleep in Jesus March 25, 1919, age 12 years, 5 months and 10 days. He was born of the spirit and joined the Harmony church over a year ago. He loved to sing "It's a good thing to be a Christian, it's the best thing I know."
(This obituary was published 3 Apr 1919 in both the "Lincoln Sentinel" and the "Lincoln Republican" in Lincoln, Kansas.)

When 5 years old he attended school and took a prize for head marks. When his brother Roy went to war Arthur almost did the work of a man on the farm, and did it cheerfully. Lately the flu was brought into the Rocky Point day school and the Hunter family and others were taken down with it. Arthur kept at work as long as he was able. The doctors were called in and two nurses--for all were overcome, God knows best--why Arthur out of fifteen children was called to a better world, so soon. Christ was sent "to bind up the broken hearted, to comfort all that mourn."

The funeral services at the home and at Minneapolis cemetery were conducted by his old pastor, Rev. H.C. Bradbury. Text, Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth. Eccl. 12:1.
