  OBITUARY. DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT Mr John Hunt senior, who had been in ill health for some time, passed away on Tuesday morning at the age of 78. In giving fuller particulars than those already sent, our correspondent states that the deceased came to Nelson in th ship Selena some 40 years ago, and then resided at Wakefield, where were his brothers, Messrs Thomas and William Hunt, so well-known in that part of the province, and two sisters. Later he went to Riwaka, and started business as a bootmaker, afterwards removing to Motueka, where he carried on the same line of trade with more or less succes till some ten years ago, when he retired to his orchard property, a short distance from the centre of the town. He always took a great interest in fruit culture, and was in his day a very competent musician. Mr Hunt had been married twice, and leaves a widow and family of four sons and three daughters, for whom general sympathy is felt. The sons are Messrs John Hunt (Motueka), James Hunt (Mayor of Richmond), Alfred Hunt (Motueka), ant William Hunt (Tapawera). The daughters being Mrs Goddard (Moutere), Mrs Temperton (Auckland), and Mrs Keating (Palmerston North). Source: Nelson Evening Mail, 8 July 1910, Page 6. [6]
