HUNTER F. ALTARE.

   Hunter F. Altare, a well-to-do and skillful farmer of Burlington township,
living on route No. 2, out of Cutler, Indiana, is a native of Summers county,
West Virginia, born on May 3, 1881.

   Mr. Altare's parents were M. M. and Mary (Hill) Altare, both of whom, were
natives of West Virginia. They grew up in the same neighborhood in West Virginia
and were educated in the common schools. After their marriage, they engaged in
farming, rearing a family of ten children, nine of whom are now living. G. C.
Altare is a resident of Kansas City; J. A. Altare is a farmer of West Virginia;
Lulu is the wife of Marion B. Thomas, of Burlington township; Anna is the wife
of James Keller, of Frankfort, Indiana; T. L. Altare is a resident of Monroe,
Virginia; Mattie is the wife of Opal Altie, of Cyclone, Indiana; Rose is the
wife of G. H. Hoover, of West Virginia; Hunter F. is the subject of this sketch.

   Reared on a farm in West Virginia and educated in the public schools of that
state, which he attended only during the winter months, working on the farm
until sixteen years of age. Hunter F. Altare accepted a position with the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, first as a brakeman and later as a fireman. He
continued in the employ of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad for sixteen years. In
1914 Mr. Altare located in Burlington township, Carroll county, Indiana, on the
farm of ninety acres two and one-half miles west and one-half mile north of
Burlington. The farm is the result not only of Mr. Altare's industry, but also
of his careful and systematic saving. He has had no assistance from family or
powerful friends, but has built his competence in life unaided.

   In 1905 Mr. Altare was married to Ida M. Holloway, a native of West Virginia
and the widow of James Holloway, by whom she had two children, Mabel, eleven
years old, and Willie, thirteen years old. By her second marriage, Mrs. Altare
has borne three children, Kellen, Mason and Thelma.

   Mr. and Mrs. Altare are well-known citizens of Burlington township.
Fraternally, he is a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge of Burlington.
Politically, Mr. Altare is identified with the Democratic party.
