Henry E. Hunter was born in Carrolltown, Ohio, September 18, 1830. He came to Newton in 1854. He returned to his old home and was married to Sarah A. Wilson February 27, 1855. To this union two children were born, George M. Hunter, and Carrie Hunter, who married C. E. Stubbs; she died in confinement in Chicago in 1885. Doctor Hunter first kept house in a frame building standing where the "Churchill" now stands. He was sent by the people of this county to care for our soldiers at Vicksburg, Mississippi. He came in a stage from Davenport, Iowa, to Newton and began practice with Dr. A. T. Ault, and at the time of his death he was the oldest practicing physician in the county. In medical ethics, Doctor Hunter was the soul of honor, brave, manly and just; his religious environment was the strictest cut of Presbyterianism, but at his death he was a liberal, a seeker of truth, and an example of equity. He died of brain trouble June 20, 1902; his pall bearers were Dr. S. Druett, of Anamosa, Perry Engle, L. E. S. Turner, C. Boyd, E. F. Besser, C. C. Smead and J. T. Hendershot.
