  OBITUARY. MR ALFRED HUNT The passing of Mr Alfred Hunt has removed from the Motueka district one of its most respected and popular residents. A large circle of friends will miss his genial personality. A son of the late John Hunt, he passed his boyhood days in the Motueka district, and then for some years lived on the West Coast. He was far above the average as a cricketer, and in a larger centre would have made a name for himself in this branch of sport. After his active years in the game had passed, the late Mr Hunt took a keen interest in coaching junior players - a proof of his love of the game. He was also an active member of the Huia Football Club. Mr Hunt was on the staff of the Motueka Harbour Board for 37 years, the last three as wharfinger. He married Gertrude, daughter of the late Christian Rose, of Rosedale. and besides the widow he leaves 7 daughters and 3 sons: Mrs R. J. Black (Auckland), Mrs J. Krammer (Motueka), Mrs A. J. Sinclair (Motueka), Mrs Paul Wilson (Motueka), Mrs A. O'Neill (Westport), Sergt.-Major L. Hunt (prisoner of war in Italy). Stoker B. L. Hunt (Royal N.Z. Navy), John Hunt (Motueka), Misses Lucy Hunt, Nelson (W.A.A.F.), and Shirley Hunt (Motueka). Mr Wilson Hunt, Christchurch, is a brother, and Mrs N. Keating, New Plymouth, a sister. The funeral was exceptionally large and the many beautiful floral wreaths bore testimony to the regard in which the late Mr Hunt was held. The Rev. W. A. Beaumont officiated at the graveside, the service concluding with the singing of the hymn "Abide With Me." The bearers were Messrs R. P. Rowling, H. Glover, A. Rowling, D. L. Drummond (Motueka Harbour Board), T. Simpson and A. Boyes Source: Nelson Evening Mail, 10 August 1942, Page 3.
