  R. C. Hundley, a well known farmer of Olathe township, is a native son of
Johnson county, born in Monticello township, November 10, 1869. He is the son of
William and Mary (Roberts) Hundley, both natives of Kentucky. William C. Hundley
was born in Henry county, Kentucky, April 12, 1833, and in 1857 came to Kansas
with his parents and settled in Leavenworth county, and the following year the
family removed to Monticello township, Johnson county, and were among the early
settlers of that section. William Hundley and Mary Roberts were married in
Platte county, Missouri, in 1856. She was a native of Lawrence county, Kentucky,
and removed to Missouri with her parents when she was sixteen years old. Her
parents came to Kansas in 1857, and later returned to Missouri but came to
Johnson county afterwards where they spent their lives. William Hundley died in
Monticello township, January 15, 1900, and his wife now resides on the old
homestead. They were the parents of seven children, as follows: Nancy, married
Ross Williams, Kansas City, Mo.; Allie, married Jacob Broadhurst, Kansas City,
Kan.; William, resides on the old homestead with his mother; Effie also resides
on the home place; Edward, Kansas City, Kan.; R. C., the subject of this sketch,
and Maud married Clay Leisure. R. C. Hundley was reared in Monticello township
and attended the public schools, remaining on the home farm until he was about
twenty-five years old, when he engaged in farming on his own account which has
since been his occupation. Mr. Hundley was united in marriage in 1897 to Miss
Caroline Thompson, a native of Indiana who resided in Dekalb county, Missouri,
at the time of her marriage. They have one child, Dewey, residing at home. Mr.
Hundley is one of the substantial citizens of Johnson county and his political
views are Democratic although he has never sought public office.
