COL. S. H. HUNT was born near Worthington, Ohio, December 29, 1829; he is a son of Jasper and Mary A. (Andrews) Hunt, natives of Ver- mont and Connecticut respectively; his parents were poor, and in 1830 re- moved to Bowsherville, Crawford County, where they did a small business, trading in cattle and other stock, together with a small stock of groceries, which they sold to the Indians and the few white settlers of the vicinity. Col. Hunt was early inured to the hardships of pioneer life, shoes or boots being a luxury accorded only to the wealthy; his education was limited by his surroundings, his first teacher being Joel Straw, father of Orrin Straw now a resident of this county, and subsequent instructors being W. Y. Ma- gill, Martin and others, all well skilled in the flogging art, supposed to be a necessary qualification in those days of crude, pedagogic ideas. At the age of ten, Mr. Hunt removed to Marseilles with his parents, his father there keep- ing a tavern about which our subject was useful in many ways, at the same time obtaining further education in the district schools. At the age of fif- teen (1844, 'his father obtained for him a situation as clerk in the dry goods store of L. J. Weaver, of Columbus, to which place superbly togged in a suit made up of butternut-colored jean coat, blue linsey pants, brown mus- lin shirt, cowhide shoes and coonskin cap, he repaired by the first stage coach from Marion; he was employed by Mr. Weaver at $3 per month for the first year, with an increase of salary promised for the second year, and in this position he labored nearly six years. He then returned to Marseilles, and began the dry goods business with a Mr. Dill, selling out to a Mr. Pot- ter for $400 one year later; he then went to Cincinnati and obtained a situ- ation in the wholesale dry goods house of Bowler & Ewing, 25 Pearl street. In less than a year Mr. Ewing's death occurred, and Mr. H. obtained a sit-

uation with Messrs. Stedman & Maynard in the same business, and with whom he remained one year, at the expiration of which time he accepted a partnership with his former employer, Mr. Weaver, in a retail store at Reynoldsburg, Franklin Co., Ohio. Eighteen months later, the winter of 1854-55, he removed to Upper Sandusky where he established a general store, doing business under the firm name of Hunt, Potter & Hunt, making an investment of $600. The enterprise proving unprofitable, Mr. Hunt dis- posed of his interest for $800, two years later, spent a short time in buying and shipping stock, and then again embarked in the dry goods trade in partnership with Mr. Robbins to whom he disposed of his interest two years later. After a short time spent in Cincinnati, Mr. Hunt again engaged in the dry goods business in Upper Sandusky in partnership with Mr. Hold- ridge, whose interest he purchased two years later. He then purchased a large stock direct from New York, preparatory to extending his bus- iness, when, being Lieutenant Colonel of a battalion of five companies of Ohio National Guards organized in this county, he was called into the United States service with orders to report at Camp Chase, Co- lumbus, Ohio, within six days; he then disposed of his goods at a sacri- fice, and was made Colonel of the One Hundred and Forty-fourth Ohio National Guards, ordered to Baltimore, and thence to Fort McHenry to guard rebel prisoners; he was soon after replaced by Col. Len Harris' Regiment, and his command was divided, three companies being sent to Annapolis and the Junction, one to Wilmington and the remainder to the Relay House to guard the viaduct at that place, Mr. Hunt having command of the latter division. A part of his regiment subsequently participated in the battle of Monocacy. He did full duty as soldier in the field, being placed under the command of Maj. Gen. Wright of the Sixth Army Corps. They partici- pated in several skirmishes, losing 150 of their 800 men in battles, skir- mishes and hospitals during their hundred-day service. Mr. Hunt returned home in September, 1864, with health much impaired, and in the spring of 1865, again opened a dry goods store which he conducted with success till 1868; he then embarked in the grain business in which he has since con- tinued, now enjoying a prosperous trade. He has been a resident of the county most of his life, and is regarded as one of its most energetic and re- liable business men, being also highly esteemed for his social and civil qualities.
