Herman Hunt was the second son of Ormond Hunt and Delia Noyes. He was bo r n in Tunbridge, VT in 1824, and emigrated with his family to Michigan a ro und the age
of 12 in 1836. Though not a "forty-niner," he went to California for t h e "Gold Rush" with Dr. Cyrenus Kelsey of Saranac, leaving home on 30 M a r 1850. They made it to Hangtown or Placerville by 10 Aug 1850, but th e h ardships of their journey took it's toll on Dr. Kelsey who died soo n afte r. For the sake of his own health, by December Herman decided to h ead bac k home to Michigan. Having made the trip west across land, he ret urned b y boat via Nicaragua, New Orleans, Havana and New York. Returnin g poore r then he left, he wrote in his journal he had "seen the Elephant ." Tha t was a consolatory phrase for those who endured hardship on the C aliforn ia trail to find disappointment in the end. He had taken his chan ce to se e the world, but the hardships endured lead to disappointment in stead.
After his return, he married Elizabeth English on 29 Sep 1852. Having so l d his share of the original family homestead in Boston township, Ioni a co unty, Herman
and Elizabeth set up housekeeping in a log house, on the farm which he h a d bought, just east of Saranac. Their three children were born in the l o g house, and the family lived there until 1864, when a frame house wa s bu ilt across the road. A kitchen was added to the frame house in 1880 . A ro w of maples along the road was set out by Herman Hunt in 1860.
When Company I, of the 21st Michigan Infantry Regiment was organized Aug u st 19, 1862, and Herman Hunt was commissioned as 1st Lieutenant. His wi f e insisted he
had been given a field promotion to Captain, but was never able to pro v e this to the government and only received the widow's pension for a Li eu tenant.
Word was sent back home to Michigan that Herman was in a hospital in Nas h ville. His brother Simeon and brother-in-law John English started o n a tr ip to help bring Herman back to Michigan. Along the way they wer e sen t a telegraph by a surgeon who told them Lt Hunt's condition was im provin g. Sadly the man had not taken the time to get the given names cor rect an d confused Herman with a Lt Hunt from Ohio.
In a letter dated December 1862, Simeon Hunt wrote to Herman's widow Eli z abeth:
"Oh how much I would have given could we have reached Nashville before H e rman died - but it was impossible - he died at 1/2 past 3 P M and we d i d not arrive there until 8 in the evening.
Oh I cannot realize yet that Herman is dead! It was so unexpected to u s f rom the Dispatch we received from the surgeon we had hoped to find hi m be tter - and thought in a few days we should be able to bring him hom e wit h us - but it appears that there was another Lieut. Hunt (from Ohio ) at t he same Hospital and the surgeon did not take the trouble to fin d out the ir given names."
As a firm believer in education, after Herman's death, Elizabeth sent h e r oldest son Edson Hale Hunt to Michigan Agricultural College (now MSU ) , to help him better manage the family farm. After Edson's graduatio n i n 1877, he returned home to run the farm, while Elizabeth moved to An n Ar bor, where she put her son Ormond Fremont and Mary Elizabeth throug h th e State University (now U of M). | Hunt, Herman (I74562)

Obituary:
Adeline Tifft Abel was born in Palembang, Sumatra on June 26th, 1931. H e r spirit passed from this earth on January 31st, 2016 in Charlottesvill e , Virginia. In her 84 years of life, she was recognized for her comman d o f romance languages, speaking French, Italian, Spanish and Portugues e flu ently, and for her extensive synthesis of music, arts and philosoph y.
Adeline was born to a French mother, Marguerite de Chazelle, and an Amer i can father, Clarence F. Tifft who met and married in Pointre-a- Peitre , G uadeloupe. Both families had properties and connections in the Frenc h Wes t Indies. Clarence Tifft’s work as a purchasing and supply manage r for th e shipping division of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company led the fam ily to mo ve to Sumatra in 1931. Adeline’s early childhood was filled wit h travel s throughout Indonesia, Asia and France. This early exotic exper ience sti mulated a spirit of adventure and independence. However, with h er father’ s premature death in 1940 and the commencement of the Second W orld War, A deline’s life changed dramatically. She, her younger brothe r (Roland Tiff t- deceased) and mother became war refugees, blocked fro m returning to Fr ance by the Germans and unable to stay in Indonesia bec ause of Japanese a ggressions. Thus began a life of wandering, living thr ough the good grace s of people in Australia, France and the US. Adeline’ s education came fro m reading and short stays in convent boarding schoo l in the Alps and Brit tany. At age 17, in pursuit of further education a nd working opportunitie s, she emigrated from France to the US in 1948. T his move was made possib le by her family’s diplomatic connections, espec ially her uncle who was S urgeon General to de Gaulle. Equally critical w as the kindness of France s Cogswell Wickes, an attorney in Rochester, N Y who agreed to sponsor Ade line. Mr. Wickes had worked for the Hoover Be lgian Relief Commission foll owing WWI and was sympathetic to the pligh t of refugees.
In Rochester, while working multiple jobs including modelling for Eastm a n Kodak, as a translator, a librarian assistant, a tutor of French an d La tin, Adeline attended classes at the University of Rochester. Ther e she m et Paul Louis Abel II, a student at the Eastman School of Music , and the y married on August 27, 1952. They spent two years at the Unive rsity of M ontana where Paul taught music and where her first son Paul II I (deceased ) was born, then moved to Baton Rouge Louisiana where she liv ed for 12 ye ars. In that span, Adeline had three more sons, Mark, Charle s, and Andre w (deceased), while pursuing her PhD in Languages and Philos ophy. Adelin e earned her doctorate from Louisiana State University in 19 66.
The marriage dissolved and Adeline moved with the four boys to accep t a p osition as Assistant Professor of Languages at California State Uni versit y, Long Beach. A year later in 1967, Adeline accepted a faculty po sitio n at Central Connecticut State University where she handled a prodi giou s teaching load including graduate and undergraduate courses in th e roman ce languages, European literature, linguistics and culture. Despi te thi s heavy teaching load, she published 4 textbooks including “La Fra nce: Un e Tapisserie” which was printed in 2 editions by McGraw-Hill. The se textb ooks were recognized for their “multi-modal” incorporation of ar twork, ph otographs of France, and review questions. She attained the ran k of Profe ssor in 1970.
Adeline was greatly admired by colleagues and students for creative teac h ing, the breadth of her knowledge and her unrelenting commitment to stu de nt success. Adeline retired from Central Connecticut State Universit y i n 1988 and returned to Baton Rouge. She remained active traveling, do in g translations and singing in the choir at St. Aloysius Catholic Churc h i n Baton Rouge until her moved to Charlottesville Virginia in 2009.
Adeline Tifft Abel will be remembered for her strong identity with Franc e , for the sounds of Mozart sonatas and Chopin waltzes coming from her p ia no, for her provocative and thoughtful comments on philosophers such a s B alzac, Voltaire, Camus, and Beckett, for the beautiful crocuses, rose s an d lily of the valley that she cultivated and that colored our yard , and f or the warm open atmosphere and exquisite cuisine that she prepar ed for n eighborhood friends. Adeline was a caring mother to the end. Sh e leaves b ehind two sons Mark and Charles Abel, 5 grandsons, Paul IV, Ma tthew, Bria n, Jason, and Michael, and 2 great grandchildren, Cynthia an d Shawn.
To know the secret of death, one must know the heart of life. Adeline Ab e l knew the heart of life. A memorial service in her honor will be plann e d later in Connecticut. In lieu of flowers, offerings in her memory ca n b e made to either the St. Aloysius Church in Baton Rouge or the Univer sit y of Virginia, Palliative Care Department. | Tifft, Adeline (I109035)
