General Notes: Husband - O. H. Hunter

---

He was reared on a farm in Steuben County, New York, until he was eighteen years of age, when he went to Bath in that county to act as clerk in a dry goods house. This position he resigned in 1845, when he came to War­ren, Pennsylvania, and formed a partnership with H. T. Baker, for the purchase and sale of dry goods. Warren at that time had a population of about 700, and merchan­dise had to be shipped to Warren from New York by way of canal to Buffalo, thence by lake to Dunkirk, from which place it was taken by teams. The transportation consumed three weeks of time. As a dry goods mer­chant he attended faithfully to his calling, and as such filled a large place, for more than forty years, in the local history of Warren. He is now [1887] the oldest dry goods merchant-the longest in the trade-in northwestern Pennsylvania.
He served as one of the directors of the Warren Saving Bank from its organization.

He had four children with his first wife.
