Died, in this county, on the night of the 8th inst. Wm. Hunt, of typhoid fever, aged 63 years and three months.

He had been an acceptable member of the M. E. Church about 40 years. He died in great peace and quite easy. The dear family has lost its head, the church one of its class leaders and brightest members, the county a good citizen; and while the family, the church and the county mourn their loss, the humble writer of this notice, the servant of the Sandersville Circuit, feels that he has lost one of his best friends. But we need not sorrow as those who have no hope, for his last request to all was to meet him in the good world. May the father God, ever fill his vacancy in the family, the church and the county.

feb. 9, 1852.                           M. C. Smith.

The Central Georgian, Sandersville, Georgia, 10 February 1852, page 3, column 2.
