General Notes: Husband - Rev. Joseph Hunter, A.M.

---

He was a studious youth, and engaged early in teaching. After taking a course in the Western University he studied theology under Dr. Wilson at Cincinnati. After ordination he spent a year in mission work, and became the first pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian Church at Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1852. For a time he preached alternately at Deer Creek and New Texas. He continued in charge at Wilkinsburg until about a year before his death, and preached a sermon three weeks previous to that event. He enjoyed the confidence of all the brethren of his denomination. His large heart and kindly manner made him an efficient pastor; and although beginning with a very small band of worshipers, by faithful and zealous work he succeeded in building up a large and prosperous church.
