  Notes	In the 1885 Minnesota State Census, page 409, Alida is listed in Langola, Benton County, Minnesota, in household #88, with children Nettie (age 10), Clara (age 8) and Peter (age 3). In the same household, Harry Hunter (age 21) is listed with birthplace Wisconsin. In the same town, household #81 (only a few doors away), Silas Parmeter (Alida's father) is listed with his wife Eliza and seven children. Because Alida's husband Peter Putnam Hardy is not included in her household, it is presumed that she left Peter before 1885. Note that her son Lester was born in 1885, before her marriage to Harry Hunter. Also note that her son Edgar Edward Hardy (born 1879) was not in the household at the time of the state census. He may have been with his father, but there is no listing for him or his father in the 1885 census. Alida married Henry Hunter as her second husband in 1886 in Royalton, Minnesota. They moved to Seattle, Washington, then to California and subsequently to Lovelock, Nevada. She appears in the 1900 Federal Census records for San Jose, Santa Clara County, California and in the 1910 Federal Census records for Reno, Washoe County, Nevada. Henry Hunter is listed in the Tuscarora, Elko County, Nevada 1890 Veterans Schedule. In WWI civilian draft registration records, her son Harry Hockin Hunter is listed for Humboldt, Nevada; born in Rice, Minnesota, 22 Jul 1887 (9 months after Alidia married Harry Hunter). Rice is where Alidia's sisters, Clara and Nellie were living at this time.
