ALBERT
C. HUNT, son of Judge William T. and Mattie
(Rose) Hunt, is a comparatively recent addition to
the legal fraternity of Oklahoma but has already gained
a well-established position for himself in legal
circles. He was born at Clarksville, Arkansas,
July 30, 1888, and was granted good educational
advantages, in 1906 graduating from the Missouri
Military Academy with honors. He next became a law
student at Vanderbilt University, and was graduated
therefrom in June, 1909, with his degree, and since that
time has been engaged in active practice at Wagoner, in
association with his father. He was the first
incumbent of the office of city attorney of Wagoner,
under the commission form of government, and established
an excellent record in that capacity, a service which
marked him indelibly as a young man of great promise.
Mr. Hunt is a thirty-second degree Mason,
a Knight Templar and a member of the Mystic Shrine, and
is very popular in fraternal, social and professional
circles. He was reared in the faith of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and has remained true
to its teachings.
On November 24, 1914, Mr. Hunt was married to
Miss Essie Hayden who was born in the Cherokee
Nation, daughter of C. Hayden a prominent banker
and stockman of Oklahoma.
