He retained his mental faculties up to the last hour of his life and sank into death without disease or signs of physical suffering until the last few minutes. The machinery of life seemed simply to have worn out. He distinctly remembered and loved to talk about many incidents in the Revolution and the rejoicing of the people when independence and constitutional liberty was finally secured to them. His last words were "I have lived to enjoy the rich boon of freedom for which our fathers bled and died. Good-bye one and all. I hope to meet you in a better world."

Died at Lott's Creek, Hambolt Co., Iowa, June 24th, Mrs. Mary Rosaline [Hunt] wife of James A. Hunt and daughter of Asa Tilson in the 36th year of her age. This beloved sister lived in the enjoyment of perfect health, until about one year previous to her death, when the hand of disease fastened upon her and although every remedy was applied that wealth and affection could devise, all proved unavailing, and she died as she lived, beloved by all who knew her In her faith she was and had been for many years a Universalist and enjoyed the full blessing of that glorious belief until the last, never forgetting that God was her Father and Christ her Saviour. Although she would gladly have been restored to her family, yet she accepted death cheerfully and often spoke of the blissful prospect of those who had gone before. In all her suffering she murmured not, but manifested a patience, trust and resignation, beautiful to behold and gave evidence continually that she "trusted in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe." The community, for miles around, attended her funeral, and went in procession to her last resting place, manifesting the deepest sympathy. The services were led by the Rev. Mr. Lynn of the Presbyterian Church, who spoke very tenderly and beautifully of the departed, very comfortingly to the mourners and highly satisfactorily to the friends generally. A beautiful wreath of lilies presented by friendly hands, lay upon the coffin, during the services as emblem of her sinless life and suggestive of the immortality which we felt was already here. S.C.G.
Lines Written on the Death of Mrs. M.B. Hunt by one who loved her
Morris Chronicle, Morris, NY, July 27, 1870
My sister! we have laid thee down with summer flowers to rest; / From a life as pure and beautiful as the lilies on thy breast: / And tears of deepest sorrow, we freely shed today, / That one so young and dearly loved, should early pass away.
My sister! we have laid thee down, from all life's cares and woes, / In the cool bosom of the earth, thou may'st find sweet repose; / But thy spirit, calm and beautiful even in its latest stay. / Hath passed beyond the power of death, in its high glorious way.
Though our hearts are filled with sadness, and our sad loss we bemoan, / We bow with meek submission, for God recalls his own; / His own amid the wanderings where earthly feet have trod; / His own where saints and angels bow around the throne of God.
Our thoughts of thee are peaceful, there, in that sweet silent rest, / With the ivy wreathed about thy head and lilies on thy breast, / Placed there by fond affection, the true, the deep, the strong. / Meet emblem of thy sinless life, that knew not guilt or wrong
