Notes for Barbara McCURDY:

 

"The Ligonier ECHO" issue of 10 February 1892

 

OLD-TIME RECOLLECTIONS No. XXVIII. (column written by Francis McConaughy, "A Neighbor")

 

"Aunt Barbara was the first of the family to die, and Andrew Hunter, her husband, was a Union Seceder, and their minister was not able to satisfy her with religious talks, and she sent for Rev. Swan, her then pastor at home, and she was greatly comforted and strengthened in faith by his talk and prayers. Father and mother went with him some ten or twelve miles distant where she lived and I think mother remained awhile. It was said she died of consumption, but it must have been from a bad cold settling on her lungs for want of proper treatment, as there was no taint or symptom of tuberculosis in the family in any form whatever."

HUNTER, SAMUEL ANDERSON, was born in Westmoreland county in 1826. Mr. Hunter came to Jefferson county in 1846. His father, Andrew Hunter, had removed to the county and purchased a farm in Knox township a year or two before Samuel came. He worked on this farm for a year or two and then bought it from his father, and has continued to reside upon it ever since.

 

In 1853 Mr. Hunter was married to Miss Sarah H. Foster. This union has been blessed with seven children -- Amanda Jane, Emma, Elmer E., Perry, Mary Alice, Samuel A. and Everett. Of these Amanda died in 1859, and Mary Alice and Everett in 1871, both dying in one day of that scourge of childhood, diphtheria. Emma and Elmer are married, and Perry and Samuel A., jr., are still at home with their parents. Mr. Hunter has filled almost all the offices of trust in Knox township, and was elected county commissioner in 1873, and re-elected in 1875. He made a careful and judicious official. He has devoted himself since he came to Jefferson county to farming and lumbering, being a member of the firm of Orr, McKinley & Co. for several years. He is one of the most prominent and useful citizens of Knox township.

 

Mr. Hunter has found in his wife a veritable helpmeet. She is one of the most earnest and effective workers in the temperance cause, being one of the superintendents of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in the county union, and president of Pleasant Hill Union. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hunter are consistent and earnest member of the Methodist Church.

JEFFERSON COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA:  HER PIONEERS AND PEOPLE, Volume II (Genealogy & Biography), J.H. Beers & Company, Chicago, 1917, pp. 155-156

 

PERRY A. HUNTER, of Brookville, is a native son of Jefferson county who has rendered excellent account of himself in material achievement along normal lines of business and industrial enterprise and also in public offices of distinctive trust. He gave four years of most effective service in the dual office of county recorder and register of deeds, from which he retired Jan. 1, 1916, and he has since held definite prestige as one of the representative men of affairs at the judicial center of the county.

 

Mr. Hunter was born in Knox township, this county, on the 12th of May, 1863, and is a grandson of Andrew Hunter, who was born in Ireland, where he was reared to adult age and whence he came to America when a young man. Andrew Hunter established his home at Bolivar, Westmoreland Co., Pa., soon after his arrival in the United States, and for a time he found occupation as a driver on the canal. In an early day he came to Jefferson county, where he purchased a tract of land, in Knox township, and turned his attention to agricultural pursuits. He developed one of the excellent farms of that township and on this old homestead he continued his residence, a sterling and honored citizen, until his death, at the venerable age of seventy-four years, his remains being interred in the new cemetery at Brookville. Of his children the firstborn was Eliza, who became the wife of Robert Springer and who was a resident of this county at the time of her death. The only other child who attained to years of maturity was Samuel A., father of him whose name introduces this article.

 

Samuel A. Hunter was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., on the 25th of August, 1826, and there he passed the period of his childhood and early youth. He was still young at the time of the family's removal to Jefferson county, and after the death of his honored father he became the latter's successor in the operating of the old homestead farm. He not only held for many years secure place as one of the representative agriculturists of Knox township, but also achieved success in connection with his extensive lumbering operations in Jefferson and other counties of this section of the State. He served two consecutive terms as county commissioner, to which office he was elected in 1873 and again in 1875, and he was recognized as one of the leaders in the councils of the Republican party in Jefferson county, with definite vantage ground as one of the progressive, enlightened and public-spirited citizens of the county. For many years he gave efficient service as a member of the school board of his district, and he was always ready to lend his aid in the furtherance of measures and enterprises projected for the general good of the community, the while his inviolable integrity in all of the relations of life gained to him the confidence and goodwill of all who knew him. As a man of thought and action h e won large and substantial prosperity. He continued his residence upon his farm until he was called form the stage of his mortal endeavors, at the ripe age of nearly seventy-five years, his death having occurred on the 10th of January, 1901, and interment having been made in the Brookville cemetery.

 

As a young man Samuel A. Hunter wedded Sarah H. Foster, who was born in McKean county, Pa., and who was a daughter of Daniel Foster, her father having been a native of the State of New York and having been a resident of Pennsylvania for many years prior to his demise. Mrs. Hunter survived her husband by seven years, and was summoned to eternal rest on the 16th of January, 1908, secure in the affectionate regard of all who had come within the compass of her gracious influence.

 

Of the children of Samuel A. and Sarah H. (Foster) Hunter the firstborn, Amanda, met a tragic death, her clothing having taken fire when she was a child of three years, and her injuries having soon resulted fatally; Emma C. became the wife of William McGuary and was a resident of Brookville at the time of her death; Elmer became an extensive fruit grower in the State of Idaho, where his death occurred in the year 1915; Perry A., of this review, was the next in order of birth; Mary A. died at the age of twelve years; Samuel A., Jr., owns and operates the fine old homestead farm of his father, in Knox township, and is known as one of the most progressive and successful agriculturists of his native county; Everett B. died when three years old.

 

The benignant influences of the home farm compassed Perry A. Hunter during his childhood and early youth, and after profiting duly from the advantaged afforded in the local public schools he furthered his education by attending the old Belleview Academy at Stanton, this county, and the G.W. Michael business college at Delaware, Ohio. As a youth he became actively and successfully identified with farming and school teaching, having taught thirteen terms in Jefferson county, after which he became associated with the lumber business, in which industry he continued his activities until 1903. On the 17th of August of that year he established his residence at Brookville, where he became associated with his brother Samuel A. in the ownership and conduct of the "American Hotel," the leading hostelry of this thriving little borough. This alliance lasted until March 17, 1905, when they sold out to G.D. Buffington and F.L. Verstine, this partnership existing until June of the same year, when Mr. Hunter effected the organization of the American Hotel Company, by which the hotel property is now owned, the present corporate title of the company having been adopted on the 1st of June 1905, and Mr. Hunter having since continued as a member of the board of trustees (directors) of the company. He has become largely interested in the operation of oil and gas wells in Jefferson and Venango counties, and has other capitalistic interests of important order.

 

In politics Mr. Hunter has ever accorded unswerving allegiance to the Republican party, and as a citizen he has shown himself most loyal and public-spirited. In the autumn of 1912 he was elected recorder and register of deeds of his native county, and of this office he continued in tenure four years, during which he gave a most efficient and acceptable administration. He was serving his second term as a member of the borough council of Brookville at the time of his election to the county office, to assume which latter he resigned his position as a representative of the county, Mr. Hunter is affiliated with the lodge of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks; at Falls Creek he is identified with the organization of the Improved Order of Red Men; and at Brookville he is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias and the Loyal Order of Moose. In h is native county his circle of friends is virtually coincident with that of his acquaintances, and he is known as one of the wide-awake, liberal and progressive citizens of the county.

 

In the year 1896 was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Hunter to Emma M. McCarm, who likewise was born and reared in Knox township, this county, where her father, the late Benjamin F. McCarm, was a prosperous farmer and influential citizen, his wife, Susan, who survives him, being a daughter of the late Thomas Hopkins, a sterling pioneer of this county. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter have no children.

Notes for Samuel A. HUNTER:

 

JEFFERSON COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA:  HER PIONEERS AND PEOPLE, Volume II (Genealogy & Biography), J.H. Beers & Company, Chicago, 1917, pp. 254-255

 

SAMUEL A. HUNTER, of Knox township, has the enviable distinction of owning and operating a farm that is so perfect in appointment and fertility of sol, that widest search for superiority in a homestead could at best but eventuate in futility. It is a broad statement, for though Jefferson county does not depend principally upon its agricultural resources, there are many progressive farmers residing there, taking the yield of the soil according to the most approved up-to-date methods, and Mr. Hunter has had to go far to attain a place so eminent among them. However, his beautiful property bears evidence of such intelligent care, discriminating development and well matured plans, that it is no more than just to give him credit for what he has accomplished. Moreover, every wide-awake farmer knows that each well-cultivated tract in the neighborhood makes his own more valuable in prospect, and Mr. Hunter's systematized work and economic administration are watched with interest and appreciation by all of the enterprising farmers of this section who realize what he has done for the entire locality. The place he operates is the old Hunter homestead where his grandfather settled almost a century ago, and which his father in turn owned and occupied. He, himself, was born there March 20, 1868. The early history of the family will be found in the sketch of his elder brother, Perry A. Hunter.

 

Samuel A. Hunter obtained his preliminary education in the common schools of Knox township, later taking more advanced studies at Delaware, Ohio, in the School of Business of that university. For several years during his young manhood he was successfully engaged in educational work, teaching one year in Winslow township, this county; one term as principal of the schools at Rathmel, this county; two terms in Knox township; for a time in the G.W. Michael's business college at Delaware, Ohio; and for two year sin the G.W. Michael's business college at Logansport, Ind. His experience in Jefferson county alone covered four years. When he gave up the profession he went to Homestead, Pa., where he was employed in the capacity of clerk, and thence went with the pressed steel car works as steel and lumber inspector. Returning to the home farm in Knox township he spent two and a half years there, after his father's death taking charge of its cultivation for his mother. On Aug. 6, 1903, he purchased the "American House" at Brookville in partnership with his brother Perry A. Hunter, and gave his time to conducting that place for nineteen months and eleven days. Having become interested in baseball he then went to Cambridge Springs, Pa., where he established a ball team and remained for one summer. Returning to Brookville, he clerked at the "American House" for a time, spent another season at Cambridge Springs with a ball team, and then made a trip out to Portland, Oregon. After coming back to Jefferson county he resumed the hotel business, taking charge of the "Commercial Hotel" in Brookville, which he carried on until March 20, 1912. Mr. Hunter displayed great ability in the hotel business, for which his friendly disposition and obliging nature eminently qualified him, because of his courteous attention to the wants of all guests. When he sold the "Commercial House" in March, 1912, Mr. Hunter came to live once more on the home place where he was born, in Knox township, and where he is now established. He had purchased the property some time previously, and since he returned to it has devoted practically all his time to its cultivation and management. Though business has occupied more of his attention than agriculture Mr. Hunter seems fitted by nature for the latter vocation, in which he uses his business experience also to excellent advantage. He has a fine tract for scientific agricultural operations, his farm being considered the best piece of arable land in Jefferson county. It contains 166 acres of tillable soil and sixty-six acres of woodland, all of which is turned to the best possible use by Mr. Hunter and his efficient force. He erected new buildings, which like his home are of model construction, his cattle barn especially being a simple, sanitary structure, up-to-date in its appointments but not cluttered with unnecessary "contraptions" of any kind. It is so all over the place--the most convenient devices are in use, but there are no cumbersome, complicated things that use up time without showing adequate results. Mr. Hunter keeps a herd of registered cows in which he takes great pride. Mr. Hunter is one of the foremost citizens of Jefferson county, and is as well liked as he is well known, having a large circle of friends whom he is always glad to welcome to his home.

 

Mr. Hunter is not selfishly bound to his own affairs, being ready to give his aid and counsel in public matters when necessary and he is serving at present as a member of the township school board, of which he is treasurer. With his brother Perry A. Hunter he has oil interests at Oil City, Pa. Socially he holds membership in the Aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles at Brookville.

 

Mr. Hunter married Mrs. Harry Matson, daughter of Joseph T. Spare.
