T.= (Toronto, Ont.), was born on the 25th of October, 1869, and after having received a thorough primary and elementary education at the public and high schools, he entered the Toronto University where, in 1890, he had the distinction of having the degree of LL.B. conferred upon him. He was duly admitted to the Bar in 1892 and at once embarked in the active practice of his profession, in which, he has been very successful. He maintains a handsome suite of offices at 706 Temple Building, Bay and Richmond Streets, where he enjoys a large and lucrative practice, his services being constantly retained by some of the leading firms and corporations of the city and province. Colonel Hunter is prominently identified with the Masonic craft, and is an active and influential member of the I.O.F., A.O.U.W., and a Past Master of L.O.L. No. 613. As an author Colonel Hunter is well known, and among the works emanating from his pen may be named “Power of Sale Under Mortgage,” “Foreclosure Under Mortgage,” and “Real Property Statutes.” The Colonel, prior to this war, was courageous in pointing out in speeches and contributions to the “Military Gazette,” absurdities in our military organization. Colonel Hunter has devoted some time to politics and was candidate for the riding of West Toronto in the Dominion House, of the McCarthyites in 1896, and of the Liberals in 1904. In 1914, when war was declared by Germany on England and her colonies, Colonel Hunter at once responded to the call to duty, laid aside his business and other connections, and went overseas with the 4th Battalion C.E.F. On April 23, 1915, he was wounded in the battle of St. Julien, but returned to duty in time for the battle of Festubert; after this he was placed on duty in England, and later returned to Canada on leave of absence; while in Canada he acted as Brigade-Major at Camp Borden in 1916. He again returned to England on active service, and in February, 1917, was attached to the Princess Patricias on service in France and was present with them at Vimy Ridge. He returned to Canada in November of same year and has been gazetted Lt.-Colonel of the 12th Regt. York Rangers. * * * * *
