HUNTER, former postmaster at St. Marys and formerly for years actively engaged in newspaper work in that city, one of the best known newspaper men in western Ohio, was born at St. Marys and has lived there all his life. Mr. Hunter was born on January 6, 1869, and is a son of Anderson R. and Julia A. (Emerick) Hunter, both also natives of Ohio, the latter born in Mercer county on May 25, 1844, and both of whom are now deceased. On July 4, 1891, Charles L. Hunter was united in marriage to Matilda Caldwell, who was also born in this county, daughter of Ephraim and Matilda (Boltz) Caldwell, and to this union have been born four children, all of whom are living save Hannah, who died in March 1910, the others being two daughters, Julia M. and Helen Marie, and a son, Robert G., who married Vivian Clark of Wapakoneta, and has one child, a son, Charles C., born on December 23, 1918. Reared at St. Marys, Charles L. Hunter received his schooling in the excellent schools of that city and in 1887 when eighteen years of age, entered upon his career as a newspaper man and general printer, a vocation he followed until the time of his appointment in March 1914 to the position of postmaster at St. Marys, which position he occupied until the expiration of his commission on February 1, 1923. Upon entering the newspaper office at St. Marys back in the 1880s, Mr. Hunter started in with the determination to learn all departments of the business and he thus became an all around newspaper man, familiar with all details of the craft from the "case" up, and was general manager of the Daily Leader at the time of his appointment to the postoffice. Mr. Hunter's service in this latter capacity covered the period of national stress during the time of this country's participation in the World War, when many new and onerous duties were being laid on postmasters in connection with the administration of local war activities, and it is needless to say that in the discharge of these duties he was proved in every way equal to the emergency. He also served as a director of the local Community Welfare Association, an organization growing out of war needs, and in that capacity rendered equally valuable service to the community of which he is so vital a part.Mr. Hunter is a member of the local Chamber of Commerce and has for many years been recognized as one of the most potent factors in the development of the commercial and industrial activities of his home town. He is a 32 degree Mason, affiliated with the consistory at Dayton and with the blue lodge, the chapter and council of the Masonic bodies at St. Marys, and is also a member of the local lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. For some years he has been the secretary of the local Masonic bodies. CHILDREN: Robert G. Hunter, son, is a machinist operator in the office of the Daily Leader at St. Marys, having charge of the linotype machines. The Misses Julia M. and Helen Marie Hunter have for some years past been engaged in Chautauqua work, directors for the Ellison-White Company of Portland, Oregon and in this capacity have appeared in all the important towns in the West. Both young ladies were graduated from the St. Marys high school and Julia M. Hunter supplemented the training there received by a course in the Columbia School of Expression. SIBLINGS: Mrs. D. E. Howe, five brothers: James, John, Norville C., Russell A. and Wilbur S. Hunter, all living; three who died in infancy and Anderson R. Hunter, Jr., who died at the age of fifty-two years.
