Biography

Lucy May Hunt (1875 - 1953) was born in 1875, the daughter of Thomas and Lucy Martha Hunt. She was a member of St. John's Church choir for many years and her first love was music, but she also assisted in other good works. She did not marry and died at her home in Adelaide Street on 4th June, 1953, aged 78.

She bequeathed to St. John's Church a handsome sum of money to be used for the future restoration of the organ. A plaque was erected in her memory beneath the organ front. The inscription reads:
