Lake Odessa Wave - Thurs. August 23, 1962

WALTER M. HUNT PASSED AWAY SATURDAY

Walter M.Hunt, a well known resident of the local area who suffered from 
multiple sclerosis since 1948, died Saturday upon admittance to the hospital at 
Ionia.

Walt was Sebewa township treasurer since 1953, until this past spring, when his 
health forced him to resign. After his resignation was treasurer he served on 
the township board.

Although confined to a wheel chair, he was a full fledged radio "ham" with call 
letters K 8 A K E, he operated his sender and receiver from a den in his barn as 
well as from his bedroom on the farm on Goddard road, northeast of Lake Odessa. 
He will be missed by many who have been in radio contact with him these past 
years as well as all who knew him here.

Walt and his wife Irene had just sold their farm this spring to Phillip 
Shetterly in the process of remodeling the Ira Curtis home on Fifth Avenue in 
Lake Odessa which they had recently purchased.

He was a member of Sebewa Center Methodist church.

Surviving are his wife Irene, two children, Dallas Hunt, East Lansing, and 
Mrs.Sharon White, Portland; his mother Mrs Herman Hunt of Ionia; one sister 
Mrs.Wilma Coe of Ionia, and two grandchildren. 

Services were held at 2 p.m. Monday from the Neller Funeral Home in Portland 
with burial in East Sebewa cemetery.
