• Obituary*: "WILLIAM C. HUNT DEAD
     "Famous Pioneer Came to Des Moines County in 1836.
     "Had Passed the Ninety-Second Mile Stone on His Journey Through Life . . . .
     "Another of the pioneers, whom the present generation owes more than it realizes, passed away at an early hour yesterday morning. William Claiborne Hunt is dead. The end came peacefully, after a long illness, at his home, No. 101 North Woodlawn avenue. In his long and busy life Mr. Hunt say the city of Burlington grow from a straggling collection of log cabins, and the state of Iowa expand from a string of settlements along the big river to a well-populated, well-ordered, prosperous and progressive commonwealth. While he never held political office he took a deep interest in public questions and did his full share in working the wonderful change that the brief span of time has brought about that followed his coming to Iowa. He was especially interested in education, and one of the first log school houses in the county was erected on his land in Union township, and he did some of the work on the building, the neighbors all contributing to the construction of the building, as well as to the maintenance of the school. When the school district was established Mr. Hunt was chosen treasurer and served in that capacity a number of years. He was a man of considerable information and of rare judgment, succeeding in his own affairs and frequently called upon to give counsel to others. He was universally respected and held in the highest esteem by those who knew him best. He retired from active work in 1901, and spent the evening of his life in peace and well-earned rest at his comfortable home on West hill.
     "William Claiborne Hunt was born in Bond county, Illinois, January 21, 1818, and came to Des Moines county with his parents in 1836, this county remaining his home to the end. Of the original family W. C. Hunt was the last of the brothers, a sister, Mrs. Esther Delashmutt, lives in Glenwood, Ia.
     "Mr. Hunt was married November 21, 1843, to Miss Ann Smith, the daughter of another pioneer family, who had come here in 1835. The young couple located on a small farm in Union county, and began life in a small log cabin with the very scant furnishings which were considered ample by the pioneers. The husband worked hard and prospered, soon increasing his holdings, while the good wife was kept very busy and proved a true helpmeet. In the course of time the log cabin gave way to a conspicuous country residence, and the small farm grew to one of ample proportions.
     "Of the eight children that came to bless this union, five mourn with the mother for the good man, who has gone to his long sleep. They are: William A. Hunt, of this city; Charles C. Hunt, of Cuba; Mrs. Fremont Jackson, of Canet, Cuba; Francis Bell Hunt, of Union township, and Dr. John P. Hunt, dentist, of Mt. Pleasant.
     "The funeral will be held from the family home, No. 101 North Woodlawn avenue, at 2 o’clock to-morrow (Saturday) afternoon. No doubt there will be very many to pay the last honors to this famous pioneer."¹⁹
• Note*: • A family history erroneously says he died in 1911.
  • "There was perhaps no name in Des Moines County which carried with it more uprightness of earnest citizenship and integrity or called forth more universal experience of regard than that of William C. Hunt."²⁰
