Mrs. Lucy A. Hunter, who died very suddenly at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. J. Shephard, on Boblett street, at 6:15 o'clock, last Monday evening, was born in Stockard county, New York, and was 66 years 7 months and 19 days old at the time of her death. Mrs. Hunter was sick only a few days previous to her death; in fact, was picnicking at Birch Bay last Sunday, and her death came as a great surprise and shock to her relatives and many Blaine friends.
Mrs. Hunter was married to Thomas Hunter in 1861 and came to Blaine about 12 years ago. She leaves seven children, Mrs. J. B. Henry, Albany, N. Y.; Mrs. William Wade, Peonia, Colo.; Mrs. Henry Chapman, Bluelight, Wash.; Mrs. W. J. Shephard, T. A. and C. F. Hunter of Blaine. Funeral services were conducted at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, by Rev. George A. Sheafe, of the M. E. church, at her late residence, and the remains were laid to rest in the Blaine cemetery by the side of her husband, who died about 11 years ago. Mrs. Hunter had a large circle of friends in this city, where she was known as a good friend, a good neighbor and a good mother, and her bereaved loved ones have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire city.
