Logansport, Ind.: Bowen, 1898, Vol. 2, p76
John C. Hunter, of Washington, Daviess County, Ind., is a native of this county and was born in Barr township July 29, 1863, a son of William and Lucinda Hunter. He was educated in the common schools, and at twenty-one years of age began farming on his own account, on a tract of 120 acres of good farm land given him by his father. This excellent farm he cultivated until 1895, in August of which year he located in Washington and embarked in the livery business, which he successfully prosecuted about two years. He was accommodating and square and just in all his dealings, and necessarily became a favorite with the public. He still owns and operates his farm, but has retired from the livery business.
Mr. Hunter was united in marriage October 21, 1891, with Miss Maggie O'Keefe, a native of Daviess County and a daughter of Morris and Mary O'Keefe, and this marriage has been blessed by the birth of one child - Helen. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter are consistent members of St. Simon's Catholic congregation, and in his politics Mr. Hunter is a democrat.
