Isaac, fourth child of the Hunts, was born 4-18-1885. He
built the first part of this house for his bride,
Florence, in 1912. Rough-sawn lumber was available and a
big improvement over logs. Rooms were added for the four
children born before Florence's death. Isaac later
married her widowed sister, Ina. All three are buried in
Pine. It is now home to one of their daughters.
The
family settled in Pine in 1881 with a family of two
children. Nine more were born here. The original home was
located between MARKER #1 and MARKER
#2, but burned early in the 1900s. |

John, the third son of the Hunts, was born on Christmas
Day, 1882. He was always a cattleman. In 1905 he married
Annie Belle Lazear and they moved into a one-room log
cabin built by his uncle, George Hunt. Even as the cabin
grew to make room for their seven children, the young
Hunts treked every summer to Hardscrabble Mesa to work on
their homestead. This white house, their life-long home,
now belongs to their daughter, Mary. Two surviving sons
live on either side.
Note: Indoor plumbing came to Pine in the mid-1920s.
Electric power, as we know it, became a fact after World
War II. |
