Show Elias Hunt Celebrates 92nd Birthday Anniversary Here On Wednesday, Oct. 16 Elias Hunt of this city was 92, Oct. 14, and in celebration of the occasion his many living children met with him in St. George Wednesday, Wed-nesday, Oct. 16, spending the day at Temple work. This is an annual an-nual affair with the family who then go to their old home in Enterprise En-terprise for the remainder of the reunion which includes the deer hunt. Born in Ogden, Utah, Oct. 14, 1848, Mr. Hunt was just three years old when the family was called to the Dixie mission in the fall of 1861. Soon after arriving, ar-riving, the family moved to what is still known as the Toniquint field, south of St. George at the foot of Main street. They were encamped on this land when the floods of 1862 surrounded their house and the women and children child-ren had to be carried across the stream. |
