COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD Centre County, page 121-Regarding marriage of Samuel Huston Hunter, Jr and Jennie Bright:
Another member of this family was Samuel Bright, our subject's father, who was born, about 1818, at Aaronsburg, near the present site of the Lutheran cemetery. He was educated in that town, attending both the common schools and the academy, and then learned the carpenter's trade under the instruction of his brother George. He was of ordinary stature, was active and supple, and possessed decided genius in his line. As a citizen he was well known. He was the drum-major of an organization in Aaronsburg, and was a consistent, if not an active, member of the Lutheran Church. In Politics, he was first a Whig, later a Republican, but he had no taste for the life, of a politician, and he followed the business of carpeNtering and cabinet making until his death; he died at the early age of thirty-eight, from the effects of being over-heated, and he was buried at Aaronsburg. His wife. Eve Weaver, a daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth fiveplinger) Weaver, was born and reared in Haines township, Centre county. Six children blessed their union: (i)
Mary E. (Mrs. Thomas Miller), of Winfield, Kans.; (2) Anna (Mrs. John Walton), of North Bend, Penn. ; (3) JENNIE (MRS. HUSTON HUNTER) of Mill Hall, Penn.; (4) James W. , professor of English Language in Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md. ; (5) John W., our subject, and (6) Margaret, who died in infancy. After the father's death the mother formed a second union, this time with Levi Conser, and now resides at Logantown, Penn. By this marriage there are three children: Harry N., Ph. D., now principal of the high school at Sunbury, Penn.; Thomas C. , M. D. , practicing medicine at Sunbury; and Minnie M., now Mrs. James Stoman, of Loganton, Penn.
