At age 20, he volunteered for military service and served three years with the 85th Regiment, Second Indiana Volunteer Infantry, U. S. Army. He was promoted and served as first Lieutenant. Due to an injury sustained in battle, he suffered pain for the remainder of his life.

When Jesse was three months old the Hungates left Indiana for Texas. In 1896 they came to Oklahoma Territory to visit an old friend and boyhood chum of Mr. Hungate's, Bill Lockhart. Mr. Lockhart persuaded the Hungate family to file for homestead on adjacent land to his homestead and be their neighbor.

The Hungate family were well educated and Mr. Hungate held literaries in his home for the young people of the Kiowa Community.
