LIVY M. HUNT

Livy M. HUNT, a respected citizen, and a native of Harrison County, now residing on section 36, of Douglas Township, forms the subject of the subjoined sketch. He was born at Six-Mile Grove in 1852, and remained with his parents until he was twenty-five years of age, attending school winters, and working on the farm summers. His father gave him one hundred and twenty acres of wild land, which he improved by building a house 16x20 foot, a story and a half high, to which he has since added; he dug a well, erected a windmill, and provided good outbuildings, and has since added sixty acres to his farm, making one hundred and eighty in all.

Our subject is a son of Jasen and Mary HUNT, natives of the Empire State, who had a family of six children, five of whom are now living: Camilla, Livy, Harriet, Orville (died at five years of age) Ellen and Cahrles.

Alice BILLITER, daughter of William BILLITER, a native of Indiana, became our subject's wife April 11, 1877. She was the second of a family of seven children, and she died childless in December, 1879. Mr. HUNT was again married, November 4, 1881, to Ida, daughter of John and Hannah DAVIE. The father was a native of England, and the mother of New York State. They had eight children, of whom our subject's wife was the fifth. Their names are William, Belle, Emma, Ida, Stella, Nettie, Frank and Minnie.

Our subject and his wife are the parents of three children; Nettie A., born November 5, 1885; Jasen T., August 1, 1887; and John, December 29, 1889.
