Death of Dr. J. W. Hunt
"The will of God is accomplished, so be it. Amen" Died-In this city on Saturday night, January 22nd, 1887, at 11 o9'clock, of bronchial pneumonia, Dr. J. W. Hunt, aged 46 years, 7 months, and 13 days. The above announcement startled many in and around Hillsboro and cast quite a gloom over the community. The deceased was one of our best citizens, a practicing physician, a member of the City Council, also a member of Masonic fraternity and the Knights of Honor, a loving father and husband, and devoted friend. His funeral was the largest ever witnessed in Hillsboro, the Masons and Knights of Honor being out upon the occasion, together with a large concourse of the people. Rev. J. R. Clark, pastor of the Baptist Church of which he was a member, held services at the residence, after which the Masons took charge of the remains and the last sad rites at the grave were performed by that order. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved wife and five little ones left behind to mourn his untimely death."

His widow drew a pension on his military service for about two years before her death while she was residing in Hill County, Texas.
