This might be the Samuel P. Hunt who died in January 1955.
" Samuel P. Hunt, who lived in St. George and worked in Manhattan,
died as a result of crash injuries. The 61-year old man was alone in the pickup truck
which burned after rolling over on the highway. None of the six Wakefield persons was
injured seriously although two of them were still confined to St. Mary Hospital today.
They were: Mr. and Mrs. Horace D. Newell and daughter, Judith, 10;
Mr. and Mrs. Can W. Stauffer and daughter Barbara Diane, 11.
The women and two girls were released from the hospital after their injuries had been diagnosed
as minor but Newell and Stauffer remained for additional treatment.
Stauffer was believed to have suffered a fractured pelvis in addition to lacerations of the
face and knees. The crash forced a rerouting ol traffic over old US24 as investigating
Highway Patrol Troopers worked the accident scene. Pottawatomie County Coroner Orville
Channel attributed Hunt's death to chest injuries. He was thrown clear of the pickup
as it rolled over. The Newells and the Stauffers were in the eastbound car on US24.
It was driven by Newell, a 39-year old farmer. Hunt's pickup was southbound on the
Flush road. The point of impact was on the main highway at the intersection with the
side road. The Newell Vehicle was extensively damaged in the front but did not overturn
as it left the road. Hunt's pickup burned for more than an hour after overturning as
tires, upholstery and all other inflammable parts were consumed by the flames.
Hunt was born Sept. 2, 1893, in Courtland, Kansas. For a number of years he had
been employed by the Farmers Union Creamery here. He was a veteran of World War I.
Surviving are the widow of the home; a son, Hal; one sister, Mrs. Archer Czapansky of
Marysville; two nieces and a nephew. Another son preceded him in death,
having been killed in an accident about two years ago. Funeral services were held at
2:30 p. m. today at the Stewart Funeral Home in Wamego with Dr. Samuel S. George
of Manhattan officiating. Burial was in the Wamego Cemetery with the
St. George and Wamego American Legion posts conducting military rites. "
