Son of Abraham Hunsaker and Ane Katherine Jensen

Married Mattie Marie Tyree, 22 Mar 1946

History - Leo, the next to last child of Katherine Jensen and Abraham Hunsaker, was born in Honeyville on February 15, 1879.

He was raised and educated in Box Elder County until he attended the Brigham Young Academy at Logan. He later specialized in business administration at the Salt Lake City Business College.

At the age of 18, he began work as the assistant secretary to the First Council of Seventies and the General Board of the Deseret Sunday School Union. He was sustained clerk of the Salt Lake Stake and High Council on June 8, 1902. In 1956, he was the only surviving member of these groups.

Leo married Theressa E. Neumeyer on May 4, 1904. His wife was a convert to the Church from Neuwark, Munchen Gladbach, Germany. They were the parents of three sons and three daughters. Theressa died in Salt Lake City in 1948.

Leo engaged in railroad work as a young man. Also, as he put it, "In 1906 I moved to Goldfield and Tonopah, Nevada during the gold rush, and engaged in gold mining with some success until the mine petered out." He returned to Honeyville in 1910, where he farmed and worked at the flour mill. He was very active in Church and civic affairs while living there. He was twice elected president of the Town Board, and served as Bishop for seven years.

In about 1928, Leo sold the farm and moved to Salt Lake City, where he engaged in painting and interior decorating. In 1956 he became foreman at Deseret Industries and Chaplain for the 175 workers there.
