He now owns a good farm of 240 acres of fertile soil, well drained, and with 170 acres under cultivation. Mr. Hunter was married, in Marion County, Ind., November 3, 1850, to Miss Elizabeth J. Higdon. This union has been blessed with a family of six children-Mary E., Margaret, Charles W., Robert C., Cora and Eva.
