| siblings ranging in age from 19 years to 2 months on
the family farm worth $3,300 in Antwerp, Van Buren, Michigan. His father John was working as a farmer and his elder brother Laurentio was working as a laborer. Nathaniel, his
elder siblings and both parents all had been born in Vermont; all his younger siblings had been born in Michigan.
On July 1, 1863 Nathaniel K. Hunt was listed in the U.S., Civil War Draft Registrations Records for the Fourth Congressional District of the State of Michigan as being a 26-year-old married merchant born in Vermont. In the 1863 Michigan Business Directory for Lowell, Michigan on page 387 there is an entry for Hooker, Hunt & Co. (Cyprian S. Hooker, Simeon Hunt and Nathaniel K. Hunt), general store [Source: on-line database Michigan State Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1863]. In 1866 his wife Annette died three weeks after their son George was born; she was only 21 years old. Nathaniel married her sister Jane a little over a year later. It was the second marriage for both. Jane had been married to John W. Francis around 1855 and had borne him three daughters and a son. In 1879 Nathaniel and his family moved to Minnesota and opened up a farm in Haven, Sherburne County. He represented the district for two terms in the State Legislature. At the time of the 1880 federal census, Nathaniel K. was 43 years old and living with his wife Jane L. (age 45), daughter Lena (single and age 16), and stepson Charles Francis (age 18) in Texas, Kalamazoo, Michigan. He was working as a farmer at the time [Source: NA Film No. T9-0586, p. 348B]. After Jane's death in 1894, two days later Nathaniel married Rosetta "Rose" Mix. He was 57 and she was 39 years old. Nathaniel died a widower at his home at 1222 7th Avenue in St. Cloud, Minnesota on Dec. 21, 1924 of exhaustion and starvation complicated by five years of Parkinson's Disease. He was 87 years old. |
