To her were given 77 years, ten months and 25 days of earthly life.
She was born September 18, 1867 at Mannsville, Pennsylvania. In the spring of 1880 she came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob B. Burkepile to Mitchell County, Kansas.
On October 24, 1884 she was united in marriage to James E. Hunter, who survives her after nearly 61 years of wedded companionship.
This union was blessed with 15 children. Arthur preceded her in death, leaving the following to survive the memory of a kind and loving mother: Edith, Ruth and Bertha of the home; Will and Anna, Barnard; Neva, Vesper; Hardin, Harlan and Wayne, Lincoln; Roy, Jewell, Kansas; Cora and Elsie, Beverly; Lawrence, Alton, Kansas; and Florence, El Cerrito, Calif. The family tree has been extended to include 29 grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
Mrs. Hunter is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Sarah K. Caspar, Ellensburg, Wash.; and Mrs. Ella Mears, Enterprise, Kansas.
She united with the Presbyterian church and adhered closely to its teachings. As wife, mother, friend and neighbor she performed her duties fully and goes to a rich reward, leaving with all who knew her, happiness that she lived, and much sorrow at her parting.
The funeral services were conducted in the home and at the First Presbyterian Church, Lincoln, Kansas, Thursday afternoon, August 16, by her last pastor at the Harmony Presbyterian Church, the Rev. W. Clyde Wolfe of Sylvan Grove. She was laid to rest in the family lot in the Minneapolis, Kansas cemetery.
