LUCY TAYLOR HUNTER.
(From The Sectarian for March, 1915)--Mrs. Lucy Taylor Hunter, nee Sinclair, died at her late residence in Occoquan, Va., December 8, 1914, in the 63rd year of her age. Mrs. Hunter was born at Brentsville, Va., and died not far from the scenes of her childhood home, having spent some of her girlhood and all of her married life in this village. The deceased was of a quiet, unpretending disposition, “a keep at home,” faithful in the various relations of life, and excellent neighbor, and surrounded by an host of devoted friends, attracted by her modest deportment, and quiet, faithful friendship. She lived in the quietude of her home, in the affection of her husband and relatives, in the attachment of her circle of friends, thus reaching the goal of true womanhood, avoiding the fierce limelight, the club life, the continuous round of societies’ engagements, that have ruined the life of hundreds of thousands of women in our day, and wrecked many an otherwise happy home. She died as she had lived, with calmness meeting the dreaded monsters and may we humbly hope finding refuge under the shelter of the eternal throne. The deceased leaves her husband, Mr. G. W. Hunter, well and widely known in this community as one of its most successful business men, and former president of the Bank of Occoquan, from which position he resigned because of failing health, one brother and one sister, who have our deep sympathy and hope that the bereavement may be sanctified to their eternal good.
“O for an overcoming faith
To cheer our dying hours,
To triumph o’er the monster Death,
And all his frightful powers!”
