Several weeks ago we mentioned that Clarence Wilde was the first white child born in Afton. We did this to find out if there were any earlier births. Since then we have authentic records of the following: Dorcas Charlotta Hunt, born June 1, 1884, Afton, daughter of Abel Maroni Hunt and Cynthia Hill Hunt, died Mar.12, 1902, buried at Thayne. Daniel Hunt, son of some parents, born June 15, 1886 at Afton, died Dec. 15 1888 and buried at Afton. Wm. M. Cazier, born Mar 6, 1887 at Afton, still living in Afton.
