William Hunter, 1833 and Families of Daughters, Margaret and Jessie

This photo from Robert Hunter's funeral, 1913, is from Duchesne Dennis. In this photo Duchesne's grandmother is Flora McKinlay, 1895, holding someone's baby. Her great grandparents are Jessie Hunter McKinlay, 1864 and James McKinlay, 1866, next to her great, great grandfather William Hunter, 1833.

This William Hunter is the father of John Hunter, 1872, Robert's father. William is the common ancestor of most of us in "Hunter Family".

We wonder if the baby might be William and Angeline McCallum's daughter, Bernice, 1911.
