History - Abraham Hunsaker heard the Gospel in the vicinity of his birthplace and was baptized in November, 1840. Abraham passed through the persecutions to which the Saints were subjected and accompanied the exiles to the Missouri River where he in July, 1846, enlisted in the Mormon Battalion in Company '"D." He endured the trying march across the continent and was discharged at Los Angeles one year after enlistment.
Making his way to the Valley he reached Salt Lake City less than three months after the arrival of the Pioneers. He continued his march eastward and found his wife near Council Bluffs, Iowa. Next season, 1848, he returned to the Valley with his family. In February, 1856, the Indians killed his son, Lewis, at the south end of Utah Lake. The manner of the boy's death was never known as his remains could not be found.
At the April Conference, 1856, he was called to settle in Carson Valley, now in Nevada, which mission he filled and returned in time to participate in the Echo Canyon expedition in the fall of 1857. He resided in Brigham City several years, then located in Honeyville, where in 1877 he was chosen as bishop. He held that position until January 3, 1889, when he passed away at the age of seventy-six years.
