The Enterprise, Jan. 28, 1885
DEATH'S SAD ROLL
  Col. N. P. Hunter, one of the oldest merchants and citizens of Covington, is
dead. After long weeks of pain and suffering, death came to his relief on the 
evening of January 28. He was never married, and his life slowly ebbed away 
without the tender touch of a loving woman's devoted hand to soothe his aching 
brow. Although his every wish was gratified and all his wants supplied by kind
friends, the death bed scene must have presented a wierd and painful picture
without the presence of either kith or kin to bid a last farewell to the dying
man. So far as the good's of this world were concerned Colonel Hunter had an
abundance, and was liberal to his personal and particular friends. He was by 
means a society man, for his life was one of labor and perserverance, and he
fought his way unaided and alone from the humble hut of poverty to the more 
exalted position of a wealthy citizen and an honest merchant. For many long 
years the writer knew Col. Hunter and admired him for his independence and
industry. May his rest be unbroken and may he sleep sweetly within the silent
portals of his grave yard home. Age ?? years.
