There is a George Hunt death record for October 16,1901 (age 49, so that puts the age right), who died in Ameliasburg,ON (southeast of Peterborough, just southwest of Belleville). He was listed as a laborer, and died of consumption (which he had for 3 years). Back then, consumption meant a wasting disease, most often pulmonary tuberculosis. It was reported by Herbert Hunt of Brighton Township, Northumberland County, ON.
