Lyons Herald, 2 May 1902

Another of the county’s pioneers has passed to his reward, Benjamin F. Hunt, of 
Pewamo, died at his home on April 30, aged 70 years.  He was born in Erie 
county, New York, on May 10, 1831, and came to Michigan in 1834.  In 1854 he 
was married to Prudence Ealy, who died in 1861.  To this union one child was 
born, Mrs. Sarah J. Ludwick, who died some two years ago.  On February 28, 
1862, deceased was married to Mrs. Eliza A. Bissell, who survives him.  He 
became a member of the Baptist Church in 1870 and ever after was an active 
worker in its behalf.  Mr. Hunt was the owner of 130 acres just west of Pewamo, 
where he made his home until 1873, when he moved to town.  The farm was sold a 
few weeks since to Wm .C. Blackmer.

The funeral was held at the Baptist church, Pewamo, Thursday, being conducted 
by Rev. Waters, of Mt. Morris.  Interment in West side cemetery.

[Transcriber's Note: The date of his second marriage is typed as it is in the 
obituary; the obituary of Eliza Hunt gives a marriage date of 1872.]
