and took a  job with Paul Gerber in San Antone Valley, where he lived the rest of his life.  Marrying the Gerbers'
daughter, Helen, the couple took up a  homestead and built a small cabin, which gradually was expanded as the family
grew.  He worked in the West Vaco Mines and ran trap lines in the winter. He later worked on the Santa Clara County
road crew for 15 years, before retiring and settling down to ranch life.  Survivors include his wife, Helen, of San Antone
Valley; sons Keith Hurner of San Antone Valley and Ronald Hurner of Sheridan, and daughter Ruth Stoddard of San
Antone Valley.  He had 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.  The family prefers that remembrances go to
