Well-Known Woman Summoned by Death

After a final illness of about four weeks, death yesterday evening summoned Mrs. Martha Ball Hunt, native Californian and well-known resident of Bakersfield, at her home at 2221 Twenty-second street. She had been in poor health for the past two years.

Mrs. Hunt was born at Boonville, Mendocino county, California, February 27, 1860. On May 3, 1881 she became the wife of J. B. Hunt and in 1891 the family came to Bakersfield where they have resided since. Mrs. Hunt is survived by her husband, and two daughters, Mrs. C. B. Greeley and Mrs. Edward Benson. Another daughter, Mrs. Guy Jones, died several years ago.

Mrs. Hunt had a very wide circle of friends in this city, her fineness and gentleness of spirit commanding the respect and affection of all who knew her. Her ill health of recent years limited her activity, but her influence was always felt.

Private funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from the chapel of Payne-O'Meara, and burial will be made in Union Cemetery.

Martha Ball is listed in two census for 1880. She was in the Census for 1880 in Anderson Twp., Mendocino Co., CA and in the 1880 Census for St. Helena, Napa Co., CA living with her aunt and uncle John and Emily Burnham Potter.

Martha's death certificate lists her name as Martha Law Hunt, but her birth date is the same as Martha Merinda and the informant on her death certificate was Ed Benson, husband of her daughter Burnham and her usual address was the same as the one given in her obituary. Her parents names however were listed as unknown.
