Ebenezer's obituary follows:
Died in Cambridge, June 9, 1835, Ebenezer Hunt, Esq., of this town, aged sixty. Mr. Hunt left town a few weeks since, with hope of recovering, in a measure, that health and strength which had been very much impaired by protracted and painful illness, and which hitherto he had borne up against with great fortitude and resolution. But his constitution, no longer able to sustain these repeated attacks, yielded without further struggle to the decay of nature. Mr. Hunt was extensively known abroad, and highly respected and honored at home. The death of such men is of itself, without public comment, calculated to produce more than ordinary sensation in the minds of the community; while the thousand social, fireside, and domestic ties that are severed by so painful an event are too sacred to be brought before the world. His memory will long be cherished by a large circle of friends.
