  Notes	He was a mining engineer and speculator in mining leeses while living in California, Alaska and Nevada. In the 1900 census his birth place was listed as CalifornIa. In the Reno Evening Gazette, 24 Dec 1918, p. 5, there was a short article that read: "HARRY HUNTER DEAD IS REPORT Harry H. Hunter, prominent Lovelock mining man and well known in mining circles throughout the state, died in San Francisco this week according to unconfirmed reports received here by mining men. Mr. Hunter had been a resident of Lovelock for many years and was interested in numerous mining enterprises. He recently came to Reno and purchased a home here, later selling it and going to the Coast." This report was clearly in error, as Henry actually died in 1924. On his death certificate it is stated that he was a resident of Reno for 20 years. The birthplace of his father Edward is given as Ohio. Information was provided by Thomas E. Hunter, Susanville, California. [6] (Medical):HARRY H. HUNTER APOPLEXY VICTIM Harry H. Hunter, sixty years old, at one time an influential member of Nevada's mining colony, died suddenly of apoplexy. On his way into town from the county hospital Saturday, he toppled over on a lawn on Mill street. Hunter is reputed to have made a fortune in Nevada mines some years ago and most of this, it was said, was spent in an effort to restore him to health after he had suffered a stroke of paralysis. He was in a bad condition, physically, but almost daily made his trip downtown from the hospital and back. During his prosperous days he was connected with several big mining transactions. A widow, Mrs. Alida Hunter, lives at Susanville, and five children, Edward E. of Reno, Harry H. Jr., of Elko, Thomas E. of Susanville, Lester A. Hunter of Los Angeles and Mrs. W.L. Dodd of Los Angeles also survive. Funeral service swere [sic] were held this afternoon at the Ross-Burke chapel, interment taking place in Mountain View cemetery. [4]
