Mrs. Hunt leaves one brother Frank Carter of Lexington, Ky. One sister Mrs. C. A. McGinnis of Cincinnati, Ohio. Besides these there are other distant relatives and a host of friends.

Mrs. Hunt was a member of Nevada Methodist church. She was active in the Loyal Sisters class of the Methodist Sunday school. She was a member of the Social Hour club. At one time she belonged to the Eastern Star and the Pythian Sisters.

For several years Mrs. Hunt has not been rugged in health but in spite of this she lived an active life. She was remarkably faithful to her church attendance for one who was not physically well. When her friends called upon her at her apartment at the Byron Bryant home where in late years she made her home, they invariably found her in a cheerful mood. It was not her nature to complain.

Mrs. Hunt cherished her friends. She loved the church and did what she could for it. She loved flowers and all things of nature possessed of beauty.
