Sunset here is always sunrise somewhere else. Likewise, what we call the end of life here is the beginning of the life hereafter. And it was through this gateway of death that William Presley Hunter passed on the morning of April 27, at 3:15 o'clock, aged 77 years, 5 months, and 9 days.
He was the son of David and Elizabeth Atchinson Hunter, born Nov. 18th, 1854 near Zanesville, Ohio and removed with his parents when 8 years old, settling near State Line, Ind. Later they moved to the farm where he was residing at the time of his death and which he had subsequently purchased.
His education was obtained from the common schools of Mound township.
On September 25, 1877 he was united in marriage to Rose Ann Switzer. They lived first at Alvin, Ind. and later at Cayuga.
To this union 9 children were born: Myrtle E. Martin, of Danville, Ill., Albert A. Hunter, of Milwaukee, Wis., Ernest Asa Hunter, who lives on the farm near the fathers home, Ora Cleveland Hunter, who has been making his home with the father, William B. and Claude Hunter who live near Foster, Earl R. Hunter who died in the training camp near Warsaw, Ind., on Nov. 12, 1918 and Marie Lawson of Newcastle, Ind.
The wife and mother of the children passed away on March 1, 1905 and on March 7, 1906 he was married to Susan L. Switzer who survives him.
After the latter marriage he and his companion joined the Presbyterian church in Covington where his membership remained until the time of this death. Owing to his community interests and his love for his neighbors he was a loyal and active supporter of the Benson Chapel M. E. church near his home and was, in effect, considered by the members of the church as one of their own number.
Politically, he was proud to be known as a Jeffersonian democrat, and his convictions were so deep and genuine that even those who differed with him had the highest respect for his sincerity.
He had resided on the farm in this place since his last marriage in 1906.
Although he had been ailing for the past two years, he had been bedfast for only about ten days.
Besides the wife and children above named he leaves to mourn their loss; 12 grandchildren, a step-son, Stanley Switzer, one brother, two nieces and one nephew, not to mention an unusually large number of friends.
He was a kind, considerate and loving husband and father, and as a friend his loyalty and devotion was never questioned. His kindly advice was often sought and was highly prized among them.
