HISTORY OF KENTUCKY AND KENTUCKIANS, E. Polk Johnson, three volumes, Lewis Publishing Co., New York & Chicago, 1912. Common version, Vol. III, pp. 1276-77. [Woodford County] ABNER C. HUNTER--Prominently identified with financial interests in his native county, Mr. Hunter is now incumbent of the responsible office of cashier of the bank of J. Amsden & Company, at Versailles, this being one of the old and substantial monetary institutions of Woodford county. Abner C. Hunter is a scion of the third generation of the family in Kentucky. He was born on the old homestead farm in Woodford county, on the 7th of July, 1868, and is a son of Abner C. and Edith (Sanders) Hunter. Abner C. Hunter, Sr., was likewise a native of Woodford county and he was a son of William Stuart Hunter, who was born ind reared in Virginia, whence he emigrated to Kentucky and established his home in Woodford county in the pioneer days. Here he died in the year 1835 and his wife long survived him, she having been summoned to eternal rest in 1878. Abner C. Hunter, Sr., was reared to maturity on the farm which was the place of his nativity and his educational advantages were those afforded in the common schools of Woodford county. Here he continued to be actively identified with agricultural pursuits until 1849, when he joined the historic hegira of gold-seekers who were making their way across the plains to California, where he remained for some time and where he met with measurable success in his quest for gold. He returned to Woodford county in 1866 and here purchased the old homestead farm from his mother. To the management of this well improved homestead he continued to devote his attention during the remainder of this active career and there he continued to reside until his death, which occurred in 1883. He took a lively and intelligent interest in public affairs and was liberal and progressive as a citizen. He gave his allegiance to the Democratic party and he was long numbered among the prominent and influential citizens of Woodford county. In 1857 was solemnized his marriage to Miss Edith Sanders, who was born at Natchez, Mississippi, and who is a daughter of the late Louis and Margaret (Price) Sanders, who were natives of Kentucky but who were residents of Natchez, Mississippi, at the time of their daughter's marriage. Mrs. Hunter survives her honored husband and now resides at Versailles, Kentucky. Abner C. Hunter, Jr., the immediate subject of this review, was reared to maturity on the old homestead farm, of which mention has been made, and he was afforded the advantages of the excellent schools of Woodford county. He continued to be identified with the work and management of the farm until 1885, when he assumed a clerical position in the bank of J. Amsden & Company, of Versailles, and he continued to be employed in this institution until 1889, when he later secured the position of assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Meridian, Mississippi. In 1903 he resigned this position to accept that of cashier of the Union & Trust Company in the same city and of this responsible executive office he remained in tenure until 1906 when, after the death of James Amsden, he was appointed to succeed the latter as cashier of the bank of J. Amsden & Company, at Versailles, having returned to his native county for the purpose of assuming this position, of which he has since continued the efficient and popular incumbent. Mr. Hunter is prominently affiliated with the time-honored Masonic fraternity and is master of Landmark Lodge, No. 41, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, at the time of this writing, in 1910. He also holds membership in the Chapter and Commandery, of which latter body he is an officer. He is also identified with Grey Lodge, No. 27, Knights of Pythias, of which he is past chancellor. He is a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal church and Mrs. Hunter, of the Presbyterian church. In the year 1891 was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Hunter to Miss Blanche Ferguson, who was born and reared in Woodford and who is a daughter of Louis L. and Sally (Graddy) Ferguson. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter have three children--Sarah Graddy, Edith and Blanche.
