Joseph Ross Hunter Jr. ’34

Ross Hunter, a respected attorney in his native Charleston, W.Va., and a national arbitrator, died on Oct. 17, 1989, from injuries he sustained when his car crashed through a guardrail and fell into a steep ravine. Authorities blamed a slippery road surface for the accident.

A Princetonian in Charleston not of '34 writes movingly about "our dear friend and neighbor." Ross and his wife, Frances (Frannie), he says, "have been wonderful civic-spirited contributors to the life of our city, Although crippled, he never let his limitations restrict his activities. His work with Federal Mediation and Communication Services was particularly outstanding and would have taken him on a trip to Germany in December. His death is a great loss to our community."

Ross was a member of the Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral, the National Academy of Arbitrators, the West Virginia State Bar Assn., and the Kiwanis. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Frances Morgan Hunter, a graduate of Vassar, a son, two daughters, and six grandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
