Bascom Hunter, one of our prominent businessmen of Louisa, died last Saturday night, October 18, at Johnston-Willis Hospital in Richmond. Mr. Hunter had been in failing health for the past year and went to the hospital some three weeks ago where an operation was performed but failed to save his life. Mr. Hunter had been very active in the Town of Louisa in entering all things for its betterment. He was one of the originators of our splendid fire department and was its first and only secretary and was beloved by every member of that organization. It will be hard to fill his place. Mr. Hunter was a great sportsman, no man loved to fish and hunt more than he. His remains were brought to Louisa last Monday, taken in charge by the Fire Company and laid to rest in Oakland Cemetery. Mr. Hunter was born in Louisa 62 years ago. His father was George David Morris Hunter and his mother was Miss Virginia Marion Thomson. He left the following children, brothers, and sisters: daughter, Mrs. J. B. Guthrie, sons E.S., E.T., and F.G., sisters Mrs. V. I. Francisco, Mrs. L. G.
