Description

Interior photo shot of Madame Hunter's millnery shop in Prescott, Arizona.

Jessica E. McDaniel Hunter was born approximately 1877 to Andersen and Katherine McDaniel in Texas. Little is known about her until 1913 when ads for Madame Hunter’s business began appearing in the Prescott Weekly Journal Miner.  Madame Hunter advertised herself as a beauty specialist and chiropodist (one who treats hands and feet), and a seller of bath salts.  In 1919 Hunter married former Phoenix "Dr." E. E. Hilbert, who treated rheumatic diseases.  She was not a doctor, but she had “two diplomas from Chicago institutions for the practice of drugless treatment,” according to the November 8, 1919 issue of the Phoenix Tribune, a member of the National Negro Press Association.
