Mulhall (OK) Enterprise, Friday, October 30, 1903:
Alonzo L. Hunt, Dead
At his home, eight miles west of Mulhall, Monday afternoon, October 26th, at about five o'clock, Alonzo L. Hunt passed from this life.
In the death of A.L. Hunt, the community, county and territory have lost a pioneer and a most useful citizen. Having been a part of the community since the settlement of Oklahoma, he had come to be known and regarded as a man whose voice and influence was felt in every good word and work. For the past eight years, he has been among the leaders in Christian work and for some time a Sunday school superintendent.
A.L. Hunt was born in 1853 in Randolph county, Indiana. He graduated from the high school at that place in 1873, then removed from there to Illinois where he taught school three years. From there he went to Missouri where he again engaged in teaching for a number of years and was very successful in his work. He removed from Missouri in 1883 to the Indian Territory, near Coffeyville, where he remained until the opening of this country, when he immigrated here. In 1895, he joined the Methodist church and was a consistent Christian until his death. He leaves two children, aged 7 and 13.
Mr. Hunt had not been feeling well for some weeks past, and when last in town, he said that he could not work without feeling bad effects and a fever and chill. On the Sunday before his death, he was taken down with a chill. Medical aid was called, but he grew worse and in thirty-seven hours after he was taken down, he died. The doctors announce the cause as congestion of the liver.
The funeral took place at Victor school house, and was attended by a large number of people who knew and held him in high regard. Rev. A.C. Thurlow, of Mulhall, conducted the services and preached a impressive discourse from Hebrew 9:27 - "And as it is appointed unto men once to die; but after this, the judgment."
The body was laid in the Victor Cemetery, of which the deceased had been secretary since its organization.
