LAGKEDFEWYEARS Of Having Reached His One Hundredth Birth- day THE DEATH OF EDWARD HUNT At Age Of 96 Years-Was the Fatber Contractor P. H.

Hunt--Funeral Saturday The death of Edward Hunt, father of Contractor P. H. Hunt, occurred at his home, 1000 East Eldorado street, Thursday morning at 2:30 The demise of Mr. was not unexpected, he having been in failing health for some time and being well advanced in years. i a i this he manifested wonderful vitality, haring been up and around his home on Wednesday morning.

About 10 o'clock that morning the old gentleman felt tired and went to bed. The a i physician was called and said that Mr. Hunt could not live, that his time had conic. When the dis- I solution came he was surrounded by his venerable wife, Catherine Hunt, and his Mrs. Anna Padgett, Miss Mnggio Hunt, Patrick Hunt, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

At tho time of his death Mr. was in -his 00th year. -He was bom in Ireland and was married there to Catherine Brouuock. The couple came to America in 1810 and first took up their residence in but live years later removed to Springfield, where they resided for live years. In 185(1 Mr.

became a i i of Macou He rejnoved to i a i and thero built the first house in that town and made his home there for several years. He went there to assist in the work of i i what is now known as the Wabash railroad. When the track a i reached the town a wood anil water station was established ami for a time i a i from a a i a point of view, was looked upon as a more i a town a Decatur. For a period of ten years he looked a a station tor the company, assisted by some of his sous. In those days the engines, which were not many ou the road, had to take water from hand pumps and Mr.

Hunt looked after that work in addition to piling the cord wood which was used for fuel, and looking a the station. He invested in land north a east of the town, the settlers and neighbors at that time being Jesse Lockhurt, Wilkinson, Dr. Henry Clark, Dr. Pharis nil the decedent, wlio is the last of that coterie of old settlers to die. With the breaking out of the war and the entry of his sons in the service, Mr.

Hunt abandoned his duties as agent for the company and 'devoted himself to a i which pursuit he -followed i 1875, when be removed 1o Decatur and has sinco been resident of this city. Up i the time of his death his mind remained clear and his memory good. The i before he died ho was recounting old times. He was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic church.

Two of his sons died several years ago; one was William Hunt, who in the war of the rebellion was a member of the 110th Illinois; he died about sixteen years ago; a son, who died twenty-two years ago, was in the war he was a member of the 10th I i i cavalry. Patrick Hunt, a viving son, was also in the service of Uncle Sam during the war; he acted as a carpenter. The a services will be held from St. Patrick's Catholic church on Saturday a at 2 o'clock.

LINN fr 1 11 i Safest Summer Stoves i Convenient, Serviceable, Economical THE PERFECTION WICKLESS BLUE FUME OIL STOVE After many years of scientific study and experiment all difficulties have bxten successfully overcome, and the wickless, blue flame Oil Stove is now absolutely perfect in construction, and excels all other stoves in economy and convenience of operation. In the matter of fuel it is much cheaper than gas, gasoline, coal or any other fuel, and has a double advantage over gasoline, which has heretofore been more generally used for summer stoves, in that it not only uses a less quantity of a cheaper oil in actual operation, but is free from loss by evaporation, which, in gasoline, amounts to not less than 20 per cent. There is also absolutely no danger of explosion. Our Household Pepartment has arranged for a demonstration of this greatest of all modern conveniences on Thursday, Friday and Saturday May 15, 16 and 17 And invites the public to call and carefully investigate the merit of these splendid stoves, and sample some of the delicious cookery which will beprepared in their presence by the skillful demonstrators in attendance. As a matter of introduction to numerous neighborhoods we shall sell these stoves for a short time at greatly reduced prices, and will pay transportation charges to the home stations of out-of-town customers, and will deliver them free at any point in the city.

Introductory prices are as follows: I One-Burner Style, $3.98 5 Two-Burner Style, 5.98 Three-Burner Style, 8. 98 Other styles and sizes at proportionate reductions. It will be to your own interest to call and inspect these stoves while the demonstrators are here, if you are contemplating the purchase of a summer stove, but if you cannot come, write us for a descriptive booklet with prices. You will be well repaid for your trouble. FUNERALS.
