Hunt was a native of Westbrook, Maine, where he lived for most of his 85 years. He was born 13 February 1837. The date on his grave marker of 1839 is incorrect. Son of Phineas Hunt and Dolly Webb Babb. He was born in Westbrook, but when he was about 5 or 6, the family moved to Portsmouth, NH. He father died there around 1853 or 1854, when George was 16 or 17, and his mother moved her family back to Westbrook. In the 1860 federal census, George is shown as a "mariner", so he obviously went to sea. He enlisted at the outbreak of the Civil War, on August 21, 1861, in Co. G, 7th Maine infantry, serving three years at the front during the Peninsula campaign, Fredericksburg, Cedar Creek, Fortress Monroe and other noted battles. After discharge, he returned to Westbrook, being employed by the S. D. Warren Company, a paper mill, for 41 years, first as fireman, later in the Finishing Department. After retirement from the mill, he worked as janitor for the Warren Library. He was a charter member of Warren Phillips Lodge of Masons # 186, organized 1883 in Cumberland Mills, a section of Westbrook. He was also a member of GAR Cloudman Post in Westbrook, and a charter member of the Presumpscott Valley Lodge of Knights of Pythias, as well as the Ammoncongin Lodge of Odd Fellows. On August 25, 1897, the survivors of the 7th Maine Regiment held their annual reunion on Long Island in the Portland, Maine harbor, and George was elected Quartermaster, which is the person responsible for all types of supplies, including arms and food. While he never married, he provided a home for his mother, and after her death, moved in with his brother, Charles H. Hunt in Westbrook, whose daughter, Annie Hunt, a nurse, took care of them in their final years.
