MRS. JULIA C. HUNT DIED HERE SATURDAY
Was Resident of Randolph for Nearly 90 Years
SUFFERED BROKEN HIP
Had Been an Invalid for About One Month--Funeral Attended at the Late Home Tuesday
Mrs. Julia Crowley Hunt, probably the oldest resident of this village in point of years residing here, died at her home in Main street last Saturday evening. Mrs. Hunt had fractured her right hip some four weeks previously, and the shock had brought about complications which undoubtedly were potent in causing death.
Mrs. Hunt was born in this village nearly 90 years ago, and all her life she has called Randolph home. She was the daughter of the late Asahel and Clarissa Johnson Crowley and first saw the light here September 1st, 1837. As member of the leading family of that time she took a part in all the social affairs which centered about her parents' home where her mother was famed as a hostess. She was educated here and spent her youth in Randolph. May 16, 1860, she was married to Charles M. G. Chase. Mr. Chase died within a few years being survived by one daughter, now Mrs. D. F. Rundell, of Randolph.
Mrs. Chase married David Hunt December 1, 1880; Mr. Hunt died some ten years later.
Mrs. Hunt was one of the band of seriously interested folk who made the organization of the Randolph Home a possibility. She did not confine her efforts entirely to the local field, but travelled throughout the adjoining territory soliciting the assistance and the financial aid which was necessary at that time. The officers of the Institution repeatedly have acknowledged the benefit of her undertakings.
Mrs. Hunt also took an important part in the activities of the Ladies Association, an organization which flourished here 60 years ago and which brought to Randolph many speakers of world-wide fame and influence.
Surviving, besides the daughter mentioned, is one sister, Mrs. Genevieve Terhune, together with many nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at the late home, in charge of Rev. Emerson Jones of the Randolph Methodist church. Burial was made in Randolph cemetery.
