We appreclate their faithfulness and their endeavors to comfort us, in this dark hour. The untimely passing out of this life of our daughter was a severe shock for us. She was, in her life, so gentle and loving: always doing good, and was greatly beloved by all that knew her. For the last few years her life had been a life of troubles and hardships, yet she bore it with patience and courage, always looking on the sunny side, hoping conditions might change. Her close friends who know the real situation still have faith and trust in her.

This they have demonstrated generously by works and by the banks of flowers that cover the last resting place of this beautiful life that was taken so unjustly. Thank God no one else can hurt her now. She is beyond the reach of her enemies. Father and Mother, Mr. and Mrs.

Mr. Hunter's career Confederate dier and the underlying altuation that re. sulted in his, espousing the cause of the south In the sixties, has Rome decidedly interesting and romantic fentures. Filled with the spirit of youthful adventure and with a desire to see something of slave life. of which he had rend, he came to see und securing position to do some atruction work in bridge hullding in con- connection with a new railroad being built in Mississippi, he was engaged in this work near Grenada, when the war broke out.

He had been so kindly and hospitably received by the good people of that section and had bedome 80 attached to a Dr. Calhoun of that vicinity that when war threatened and enlistment commenced he discovered that his good friend and others to whom he became attached had enlisted, and as a matter of sympathetic friendship' he asked to be nllowed to follow them Into the ranks of the Confederacy. He mays he "didn't know they were quarreling about" but that he felt that his obligation WAS with his southern frienda nnd he. wanted to Ro with them and stand wit.h them for what they roprosented.

Seeing that it was Impossible to AgAin Soin his good mouthern friends he took the oath to fight no more against the United States and returned to his Canadian home. A unique feature of Mr.

Hunter's career as a Confederate and an federate soldier consinta in the fact that he didn't know. he SAYR, that there were any Confederate reunions until a few years AgO.
