Mr. Hunter had resided in this vicinity all his life, with the exception of five years in Oklahoma. Failing health caused him to return to Iowa last December. Since that time his decline has been gradual. He was about forty years old and is survived by a wife. The funeral will be Sunday from Shiloh church with interment at Shiloh cemetery. Monday Feb. 6, 1905 Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette William H. Hunter was born at the old Hunter homestead near Shiloh church September 5, 1855, and died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Matilda Jones, on the morning of Feb. 2, 1905. He was united in marriage to Miss Laura hill of Cleveland, Ill., May 28, 1878. He leaves to mourn his loss, his beloved wife, three brothers, and four sisters--Mrs. Catherine Pletcher, Mrs. Matilda Jones, Mrs. Jane Miller, Mrs. Elizabeth Vowels, J.G. Hunter, Samuel Hunter, all of whom reside in Linn county, and Henry Hunter of Kansas City, Mo. About four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Hunter left the homestead and moved to Mountain View, Oklahoma, hoping the change would improve his health, where they resided about two years and from there they went to Roger, Mills county, Oklahoma, where they resided on a farm. His health began to fail rapidly about the first of last July and failed steadily until his death. It was his desire to return to his relatives and many friends with whom he might spend his last days. He arrived at the home of his sister on Dec. 22. Although he had the best of medical treatment the fatal disease could not be overcome. During his sickness he was always cheerful to his family and friends, although for some weeks he realized that the end was near. His life can be summed up in the beautiful words, which constituted his motto-Friendship, Love and Truth. His friends were legion and his enemies none--to know him was to love him. His word was his honor, and never in his daily life did he shun duty. His home was one of sunshine and all through his married life there was never a cloud to rest upon it. A man of decided character has gone from among us, such as one of whom the poet wrote: "He love the truth, he scorned deceit, He minded what his conscience taught him; And every day he tried to do The simple duties that it brought him." The funeral services were held at Shiloh church, Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Edwin G. Copeland and the remains interred in Shiloh cemetery. -E.G.C. Son of William (of Ireland) and Mary J. (of Ohio) Hunter
