During those years in which he operated the farm he felled trees, grubbed stumps, plowed, pitched bundles, hoed potatoes and performed the other multitudinous apd exacting tasks of the farm. He never saw his children, the first of whom was born after he became blind. Hunter was born near Elgin, Ilin- ois, and came to this county in 1871. He lost his left eye while doing car- penter work. A nail struck it. ‘Soon after his right eye became infected and he went totally blind in }877. Wife and Children Ald Him Thereafter Hunter's wife aided him in his daily tasks until the children were old enough to assist. A child would lead from. one stump to an- other while the grubbing work was underway. . When he cut down trees the child would watch and indicate to him the direction in which it would fall.
