Daniel Hunt was born in Guilford County,

Lydia Moore, of Putnam County; Mrs. Jennette Huddleston, a widow residing in Colorado; Mrs. Rebecca Hackins, deceased, and
Zimri, Jr., of this township. Zimri Hunt, during his life, cleared two farms, and lived to enjoy his life of toil. He died
at the age of seventy-seven years, July 4, 1871, being in religious belief a Quaker. His wife died Aug. 13, 1877, aged seventy-nine

and out of his savings he bought 106 acres of timbered land on sections 18 and 19 of which land he yet retains sixty-six acres.
He lived on and improved his land three years before his marriage, which occurred March 19, 1854, to Ellen Hunter. She was
born in Putnam County, Ind., in 1834, and was a daughter of Charles Hunter, an early settler of that county. They have three
children--Bedial Jamal, wife of F.P. Wright, living in Missouri; Charles Zimri, of Clay Township, and Lydia Ellen, at home.
Mr. Hunt has lived on section 19 since 1854. The home farm contains 213 acres of land. He also owns other land, making in
all 445 acres, most of which is improved, all being acquired by his own industry and economy. Mr. Hunt was reared a Whig,
in politics, and since the organization of the Republican party he has voted that ticket. He is a worthy citizen and has the
confidence and esteem of all his neighbors.
