JAMES HUNT
The angel of death has again visited and taken from our midst one of Lacona's most respected citizens. James Hunt was born in Frankfort, N.Y. 1842, and at the age of two years moved with his parents to Boylston, Oswego County, N.Y. where he resided until three years ago last October, when on account of failing health he gave up farming and came to Lacona to live. He was married to Mary A. Colvin, March 1l, 1866. Two children blessed this union: Mrs. Mary Rowe, deceased, and Mrs. Ettie Stowell, deceased. In the year, 1874, his wife died and in April, 1876, he married Ellen J. King, who with six grandchildren survive to mourn the loss of a loving husband and grandparent. He was a veteran of the Civil War; having enlisted September 15, 1864, in Company K, 184th regiment, New York State Volunteers, under Col. W.G. Robinson. He was honorably discharged at City Point, Va., June 29 1865 by reason of close of war. He was alway active in the politi4al affairs of his home town, having served as justice of the peace for over thirty years. He was a member of Lacona grange and A.J. Barney post. He was able to be about until two weeks ago, when he was taken worse and failed rapidly until the end came March 6th. Besides his immediate family he leaves one brother, Dr. Edward Tanner, of Nebraska and two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Doneburgh, of Syracuse and Mrs. E.M. Halsey, of Wolcott, N.Y. The funeral was held from his late home March 9, at 2:00 p.m., Rev. Charles Woodley officiating.
The relatives wish to return thanks for the many favors and acts of kindness shown by their many friends in the hour of their bereavement.
-We shall meet, but we
shall miss him
- There will be one vacant chair,
We shall linger to caress him
-When we breathe our evening prayer
