CLASS OF 1847

Horace Hunt, the last, survivor of this class, died of Bright's disease at his home in New York City, October 3. He was born in Bath, N. H., February 24, 1825, and in his boyhood removed to Haverhill, N. H., with his parents, Caleb and Rebecca (Poole) Hunt, and fitted for college at Haverhill Academy. After graduation he studied law at Yarmouth and Concord, Mass., and Detroit, Mich., and practiced in Detroit from 1851 to 1863. Failing sight then compelled a change of occupation, and he organized, with a brother, the Boston Machine Company, and was its treasurer for a number of years. After retiring from business he continued to reside in Boston for some years; and spent much time in travel, going twice around the world. For the last few years his home had been in New York. He was married August 17, 1852, to Marie Antoinette, daughter of Henry Towle of Haverhill, who died many years since. They had six children, of whom two daughter's are now living. A second wife survives him, Catherine W. Gore, to whom he was married October 25, 1870.
