An Unidentified Newspaper Obituary
Mrs. Lydia Martha Hunt -- Lydia Martha Dukes was born September 27, 1835, near Green Castle, Ind., and died at Seymour, Iowa, November 12, 1920, aged 85 years, 1 month and 15 days.
When about 15 years of age she came to Appanoose county, Iowa, where she made her home until about six years ago, when with her daughter and grandson she moved to Wayne county, and has made her home in and near Seymour ever since. When very young she was converted and united with the Christian church but in after years, not living near any Christian church, she united with the U. B. church near Unionville, Iowa, where she held her membership at the time of her death.
In January, 1855, she was married to John Parker, who only lived a short time. To this union was born one child. She was again united in marriage in 1868 to Amblin Hunt, and to them were born three children, who are Mrs. Minnie Hopkins, Mrs. I. M. Patrick, Mrs. Ella Dale. The latter preceded her in death about twenty-three years. Beside her two daughters living she has seven grand children and several great grand children who hope some day to clasp glad hands with her in that eternal home where she has gone to rest.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Charles Winters at 2:30 Sunday, November 14, 1920, from the U. B. church, Seymour, after which the remains were laid to rest in Southlawn.
