HUNTER FAMILY

FAMILY REUNITED AFTER YEARS OF SEPARATION
Glenwood Opinion Tribune
July 18, 1938

From Pacific Junction this week comes an interesting story of the reuniting of a family long separated. A good many years ago the Alex Hunter family was broken by the death of their mother. Mr. Hunter being unable to keep the family together, the children were scattered, some being taken to distant places.

Last week, Jess Hunter and his son, driving through from Kalamazoo, Mich., to their home in Seattle, Wash., stopped at the Gearhart Cafe in Pacific Junction and inquired the whereabouts of his father, Alex Hunter, whom he had not seen for many years. He was rewarded in his search by meeting his father who resides in the Junction, as well as also does a sister, Mrs. Hazel Raymond. During his visit, Mr. Hunter and his sister, Mrs. Raymond, drove into Nebraska to visit two other sisters. Needless to say it was indeed a happy reunion as this was the first time that all had been together and the first time some of the family had met.

The whereabouts of a sister, Ethel is not known by any member of the family and Mr. Hunter on his trip to his home in Seattle expects to make an extensive search for this sister.
