PIONEER WAGONER RESIDENT, ACTIVE IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT, TO BE BURIED IN TULSA
After an illness of two months, death came Sunday, March 11, 1934, to William T. Hunt, pioneer Wagoner attorney, at his home in Oklahoma City. Judge Hunt was 74 years old.
Judge Hunt, who moved here in 1896 from Arkansas, was active in the early development of Wagoner and it was largely through his efforts, old time residents say, that Wagoner became the first chartered town in the Indian Territory and established the first free public school system in this section of the state.
Judge Hunt moved to Tulsa in 1919 and practiced law there until 1931 when he moved to Oklahoma City. When his son, Albert C. Hunt, left the state supreme court bench, the two became law partners.
With the exception of J.C. And Cecil Hunt, all of his sons were with him when death came. A brother, Robert T. Hunt of Chicago, Illinois, was also in Oklahoma City.
Funeral services for Judge Hunt will be held in Oklahoma City this Tuesday morning, March 13th, and the body will be taken to Tulsa in the afternoon for burial in Rose Hill Memorial Park Cemetery.
