Hunter, Frank     31
            Minnie    30
             Herbert    9
              Beatrice   6
              Robert     3
              W.C.       1

The 1910 Census (above) takes a look at the family, probably on Waterman Street.  First of all, because of the handwriting  the family name was interpreted as Turner not Hunter. 

It lists Frank has head of household, Minnie as wife, and the kids Herbert, Beatrice, Robert, and W.C.  W.C. was born 1908.  He was the last name listed, The next child, Ed would be born in 1911, after this Census was taken.

The next census, 1920, shows
                                                      Frank     41

                                                      Minnie    40

                                                      Herbert   18

                                                       Beatrice 16

                                                       Robert    13

                                                       W.C.      10

                                                       Edward    8

                                                       Jack         5

                                                       Douglas    4

Edward above is my father.  His name was really Edwin.  That and the Turner error in the 1910 Census is how Census research can sometimes go astray.
Also look at the census and see Joseph McEntyre  is head of a household with Robert and J.R.  Robert was 9 years old  Robert was Bobby's  McEntyre father, and  his father Joseph, age 27 was Bobby's grandmother, and now (2013) Bobby is over 2.5 times  his grandfather's age.  Time flies!

Hunter, Frank P.     50
Minnie                    50
Beatrice                  26
W.C.                      21
Frank J.(Jack)         15
Douglas                   13
John S. (Stanley)        9
James R. (Dick)         7

Hunter, Herbert        29
             Willie           28
              Ray               7
               Elizabeth       5
               Fay               3

On the 1930 Census Franks family starts at the bottom of one page and has to continue onto the next page. Next door to them is the Jolly Spence family.  I remember Jolly Spence.  He worked at the Atlanta Journal and Constitution press.  Emma Manget i s listed.  It shows she was born in New York.  The Mangets were world travelers .  They lived  on the corner of Manget Street and East Dixie Avenue.

Noticeably missing is my father,  Edwin Hunter, who would be  18 on this census.   This was the time he worked the summer for his Uncle Will Tyson and Will didn't pay him for it; also, Herbert Hunter is not in the household, but then he had his own household, next door.   Robert was probably working with the C.C.C. then.  The two new additions was Stanley and Dick, or as they were enumerated: John S. and James R.

Tyson, William O.  46
Lacy                         37
Billy                            2
Virginia                        1
Hunter, Edwin             19

By the way, here is Ed, as I mentioned, living will his uncle Will Obediah
Tyson, on the 1930 Census in Cherokee County, Georgia.  Also on this page of the census John Hunter is listed as living next to Will Tyson.  John Hunter  was/is John's uncle.  He was sandwiched with two uncles, from each parent. 

Hunter, Frank   61
Minnie              60
Walter C.          32
Douglas P.         23
J. Stanley           19
J. Richard          17

Hunter, Herbert  39*
Willie                  38
Ray                    17
Elizabeth            15

Fay                    13

The 1940 Census shows Frank and Herbert separated by a few households.   I just didn't think of it because I didn't look at the numbers, but I see W.C. was at home at age 32 in 1940.  He must have been at least 33 when he joined the Army.  Jolly Spence is still there.  He was still there when I was there in 1950 too.   The White family and Holcomb family materialized within the past ten years.  I remember the Whites and the Holcombs were related.   The Maude Holcomb family lived in the same area that my friend Larry Holcomb lived at, and next door the White family with Cliff and Grace and their two children June and Harry - the names are a bit confusing.  Grace's name is listed but instead of Cliff White there is a Carl C. White, which I'm sure the C. stand for Cliff.  There is a J. Harris, which would be Harry,  June isn't listed, but June should have been about 3 years old then.  Cliff White was a councilman and after that Deputy Commissioner to Commissioner Herbert McCollum who was responsible for changing Cobb County form a farming community to an industrial community to cater to the Bell Bomber.  Interesting, next door to  Herbert Hunter's household is the Delk family household.  They were competitor barbers in the downtown Marietta area.
