The Ionia Standard, Friday, May 24, 1918
Theodore P. Hunter was born September 11, 1857 in Mercer county, near 
Leisburg, Pa., and died at his home south of Saranac, May 15, 1918, after a 
long and painful illness from heart trouble.  He came to Michigan in 1880 and 
settled near Crystal Lake.  In 1882 he was united in marriage to Jennie 
Newman, daughter of the late Rev. L. D. Newman, and moved to Saginaw, where he 
lived many years, coming to Saranac eleven years ago.

His funeral services were held at the M. E. church Friday, May 17, at 2:00 
p.m. preached by Rev. Branch of Ionia, with short prayer services at the 
residence, conducted by Dr. Emery, pastor of the M. E. church of Saranac.  He 
was laid to rest in the Saranac cemetery, among many beautiful flowers, where 
the beautiful Masonic ceremony was conducted by the Boston lodge, F. & A. M. 
No. 146 of Saranac, with members of Ionia lodge, F. & A. M. No. 36 acting as 
pall bearers.

He led a very quiet and unassuming life.  He was converted and joined the 
Epworth M. E. church in Saginaw in 1889 and was later transferred to the M. E. 
church of Ionia.  He died as he expressed it, resting in the everlasting arms, 
and we rest our faith in the belief that the loved one has gone on only a 
little while before, and the ways of the kind Providence are best; that it 
should be he who goes first to welcome his loved one.  

He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Bessie Wright of 
Detroit, and granddaughter, Nola Wright, and a host of relatives and friends.

Card of Thanks

We wish to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the members and 
pallbearers and to the Rev. Branch of Ionia lodge, F. & A. M. No. 36, and to 
our faithful physician Dr. Beckwith, for the kindness and sympathy shown us 
during the recent illness and death of our beloved husband and father, and for 
the beautiful floral offerings, and also to the kind friends and former 
neighbors who remembered us with their sympathy and lovely flowers.

Mrs. Theodore Hunter
Mrs. Bessie Wright
