Grandma Hunter) at the home of Pearson Bros.
Sister Hunter was born in Larence (sic) County, Tennessee, 1824, and moved

Was converted and joined the M. E. Church South in 1849.  After she had
lived 84 years, 5 months, and 17 days, God said it is enough, come up
higher.  Her funeral was conducted by the Pastor, assisted by Bro. Shaw of
the Baptist Church and Bro. Robertson of the Presbyterian church, for
which we are very grateful.  We also acknowledge the kind assistance of
the Mason brethren.  We laid her to rest in the Erick cemetery to await
the resurrection of the just.  She leaves one daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth
Pearson and many grandchildren to mourn their loss.  May the same faith
which strengthened her for the battles of life be with them in life.  Her
Pastor - W. Taylor.
