Obit: Hunter Mansion

https://www.newspapers.com/clip/48308953/william-dunlap-hunter-obit-august-17/

Found out about this old house outside of town.  This is the obituary for the owner.  I've never read an obit so poetic, and vague.  I wonder how many people attended, and what the other songs they sang.

Says he had a third wife here, but there's no indication on his tombstone about being married.  I wonder if he was involved in polygamy or something else taboo.

I also read about the owner's son.  He was business professor at UT, and has a scholarship, full ride, every year.  Nice.
