The subject of this memoir was born in
He was united in marriage to Miss. Mary Kincade in
In early life Brother Hunter, learned cabinet
making and continued in the trade until 1840 when he was admitted to the Bar.
He continued the successful practice of law until the voice of his fellow
citizens called him to perform the responsible duties of a member of Congress.
Entering Congress in 1849 he faithfully discharged the duties of his position
during two terms closing in 1853; when on account of failing health, he refused
re-election. And retired to a farm, hoping to thus regain his
health. After two years rest he was so far recovered that he re-entered
the practice of law and continued the same until death. As an attorney and
advisor brother Hunter stood in the front rank at the Woodsfield Bar; and
always discharged the duties of his position with fidelity to his clients and
honor to himself.
Brother Hunter was converted and united
with the
And exhorter. These responsible positions he has occupied, being faithful in the
discharge of the duties and enjoyed the blessings of the same during the long
term of forty years. During this time he was permitted to see several
generations enter the church below to be transplanted to the church above.-
Although not able during his later years of
life to attend the church services as often as he desired, he had the reward at
the end of the race constantly in view. About one year ago he had a stroke of
paralysis which partially disabled him; and expecting a second attack, he often
spoke of the end of life being near. He did not shriek from the thought of
death, but had great piece and joy in the prospect of soon being at home
“forever with the Lord.” He was greatly comforted by the fact that his wife and
children were all in the church, and that though he
should be called suddenly away, he would be parted from his loved ones only for
a short time.
On Monday until noon he seemed to be in
more than usually good health; but after dinner while walking to his office, he
had a second stoke of paralysis and fell upon the pavement. He was removed to
his residence and seemed to be recovering; but about three p.m. grew rapidly
worse and about five p.m. he fell asleep in Jesus.

friends since he departed from our village. The sad announcement cast a
gloom over the hearts of everyone; but it quieted the minds of all to know that
he had reached the home of his former friends.
When the doctor went away it was for the
purpose of accompanying Mrs. Smith home, who had been visiting her friends in
Bellaire since late in the summer, expecting to return in three weeks; and the
expressions of sorrow on the receipt of the news of his death are not limited
to a few personal friends, but to all who knew him, by whose hearts he will
always br remembered as a gental
(sic), kind and sympathetic physician, and a generous friend.
Dr. Smith came to Windom two years ago last
fall and commenced the practice of medicine, and at once took a position among
our business men that is now left vacant by his death so lamentable. As a
physician and surgeon he had no superior in this portion of the State, handling
the most aggravated cases with skill that rarely applies in men of longer
practice and more advanced in years. Being but about 30 years of age, he was
taken away in the prime of his useful life, just as the success of earnest
study and battles with inexperience were beginning to shine upon him, and mark
out a future that few physicians attain. In his practice he was faithful and
had a winning way that inspired confidence in his patients, unostentatious and
cheerful. In counsel he was safe and
reliable and was characterized with a high sense of integrity that forbade
anything like trickery or malpractice. As a citizen, Dr. Smith was a quiet,
reticent gentleman, public spirited and industrious ready to lift a helping
hand to those in distress, and his unassuming disposition made friends where
ever he went, who deplore his death in terms of unmistakable regret.
He is dead and an entire community lament
that one so young and promising before whom the successes of application and industry
were continually falling; without an enemy to speak so unkind word, and whom ever eavy(sic) did not hate,
should he be called away so soon, But our pen is inadequate to pay tribute to
one whose name who was a household word by many families where his presence has
alleviated suffering. It is a painful task to announce his decease, and of our
citizens we can call to mind, none who will be so missed as Dr. Smith. He
vacated a place in our circles that will be hard to fill. He leaves a wife to
mourn his loss, and in her affliction she has the sympathy of a large circle of
friends who mourn with her.
