Daughter of Lewis Tucker & Susannah Jacobs per Town of Gray death record.
After a brief illness, Mrs. Harriet N. Hunt, at the age of 84 years, passed away at her home in Gray on Sunday, April 12. Mrs. Hunt was deaf and dumb from birth. Unlike most children thus afflicted, she was very happy and possessed a sweet, loving disposition. She was educated in the school for deaf mutes at Hartford, Conn.; it was at this school that she made the acquaintance of her late husband, Hiram P. Hunt of Gray.
Two children were given to the home, Mrs. Florence Hunt Libby who cared for the mother in the old home at Gray and Henry Hunt of Portland. Mrs. Hunt had a fine spiritual nature, born into a Christian home, she absorbed the teachings of the Bible, and the love for righteousness and truth became the inspiration for her life.
In early life she united with the church and it was the Christian faith that made her long silent life one of peace and joy. The old home was ever open to friends and many there are who remember her kindly face and heart's welcome.
In these later years of waiting, her life has breathed the same spirit of love and faith. Those who met her face to face felt the touch of her great soul in its divine content and went their way with a stronger faith in God's love and wisdom.
The funeral service was held at the home, conducted by Rev. Eleanor B. Forbes. The casket was covered with flowers and the face beautiful in life seemed to be glorified in the passing into the light eternal. As the friends, one by one, came to offer their tribute of love, they felt the response from the great silence, "And well I know, that, as I call to thee, Although no earthly voice can reach this sense, When death draws near, Oh wondrous recompense! Thy hand and voice divine shall comfort me, And my last gift shall be restored by thee."
