Hunter who God, in His all-wise Providence, called from the field of Time to his eternal reward October 31, 1954. WHEREAS, Jim for twenty-seven years a member of our fellowship throough keen interest and desiring to serve as serve he did during crucial periods in the life of Third church and faithfully representing our church and session in Presbytery, Synod and Presbyterian men's Council with genuine devotion so endearing himself as to earn the honor and respect of all, and WHEREAS, his death has brought to us a deeper appreciation of his untiring service and the sense of loss of a genial conscientious church man and a loyal friend, and WHEREAS, words prove so feeble an expression of the sympathy we extend to Mrs. Hunter and her family in their loss of a devoted husband and loving father, we commend them to our Father that in His Wisdom and Mercy He may bring them comfort and peace, Therefore, be it resolved THAT, in the death of James Hunter, Third Church has lost one of god's noblemen and an humble Christian servant. And be it further resolved THAT, these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of Session of the church and a copy of said resolutions be forwarded to Mrs. Hunter.
