WILLIAM SIMPSON HUNT 
Born May 24, 1842. Died January 9, 1920. 
Mr. Hunt was born in Guysboro, N. S., but came to this 
country with his parents in early childhood. He resided all 
the remainder of his life m Lynn, Mass. He took out natural¬ 
ization papers and became an American citizen soon after 
reaching manhood. He was for fifty years a well known 
figure on the White Mountain trails and a life-member of the 
Appalachian Mountain Club. All his life a keen student 
of Nature Mr. Hunt possessed a fund of interesting lore of 
bird and beast. His knowledge of New England flora was 
great, and well-known botanists sought and obtained his 
assistance in making a list of the Alpine flowers found on 
Mt. Washington. He was instrumental also in arranging a 
list of the wild flowers, trees and shrubs of Lynn Woods. 
Not the least of his gifts, perhaps, was the ability to awaken 
young minds to a realization of the beauty and wonders of 
Nature. He left no published writings. 
GEORGE MUDGE BUBIER 
Born July 17, 1875. Died April 20, 1920. 
A life-long resident of Lynn, Massachusetts, charter member 
and councillor of E. C. O. C. He was an earnest student of 
ornithology from boyhood and left extended and valuable 
notes on bird life of Essex County. These notes are illus¬ 
trated with many life-like and telling sketches, as Mr. Bubier 
possessed no mean skill with his pencil. His friends treasure 
many humorous sketches and cards touching on experiences 
in the field shared by him. 'His only published works are 
several lists and notes on bird life in the Annual Reports of 
the Lynn Park Commission. He had gathered a very cred¬ 
itable collection of mounted New England birds.
