Last Rites on Thursday For Mrs. M. E. Hunt

Pioneer Resident Died January 19 of Pneumonia.

Mrs. Emma Hunt, widow of M. E. Hunt, died at 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 19, at Mercy hospital in Cedar Rapids of pleural pneumonia after two weeks illness. Christian Science rites will be conducted at 2 p.m. Thursday from the Peffers chapel with Mrs. C. R. McCune as reader. Burial will be in Oak Hill cemetery.

Mrs. Hunt, who was 84 years old had lived in Belle Plaine for 51 years. She was the former Emma Viola Jack and was born in 1862 at Hartford, Ind. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. Izra Jack. In 1865 her parents moved from Indiana to Illinois, making the trip by covered wagon. She grew up in that state and was married to Marshall Edward Hunt at Aledo, Ill. in 1881. They lived in Davenport before coming to Belle Plaine in 1894, and this was their home for the rest of their lives. Mr. Hunt died in 1925.

Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were the parents of three children: Mrs. Letha Knable of Peoria, Ill., Earl Hunt of Mason City and Emory Hunt of Blair, Neb. Other survivors include four grandsons, four granddaughters and three great-grandchildren. One grandson, Nicola Bester, was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, and he lived with his grandmother until her death.

All of Mrs. Hunt’s children were called to her bedside last week and spent the greater portion of their time in Belle Plaine since then. One son, however, had left on a business trip to California after he had spent a few days here, but he was recalled for the funeral services. He was Emory Hunt of Blair, Neb.
