Harold Herbert Hunter (1901-1976). Herbert was born in Cherokee County, Georgia, and died in Marietta. He spent most his life in Marietta.

As a youth he was his brother Bus's wrestling manager. The hoped to get into wrestling in a big way. Herbert owned Hunter's Barber Shop on Church Street in Marietta.. It has been told that the county attorney/state representative Harold Willingham went by the barbershop for Herbert to give him a shave every morning and not only did he get a shave for also advice and how he should vote on issues. Herbert was not one to keep his opinions to himself. He started an aviation airstrip near the corner of Austell and Hurt Roads. He owned planes now and then. He and his brothers would go to various nearby counties to but on barnstorming shows. One would promote it, one would sell tickets, and I suppose Herbert did the flying. I remember he gave me a ride in a piper cub. Once he had a wreck, which almost crippled him, a hot engine landed on his leg. I think he gave up his aviation past time after that. When I was about ten or so Herbert, my father, and I would sometimes go fishing at Allatoona. He docked a boat at Allatoona Landing. Our back yards touched each other. Sometimes in the evening I would go up to his garage and watch him work on a boat. He and his wife Willie lived in a non-pretentious house on Delk Street in Marietta. On one side of him lived Mrs. Morgan and on the other side was a man who I don't know his name. It was Herbert's habit that he would get Mrs. Morgan paper, read it and then put it on her porch. One morning, 14 February 1976 Mrs. Morgan saw that her paper was not on the porch. His daughter Elizabeth "Jo" called the man on the other side and asked him to check on Herbert, which he did, and found him dead. Years later I talked to that man about that morning, which was Valentine's Day.

Harold Herbert Hunter was married to Willie Collins (1901-1973). They had three children, two daughters and a son.

Harold Herbert Hunter [403], son of Frank Paris Hunter [40] and Minnie Victoria Tyson [41], was born on 12 Feb 1901 in , Cherokee Co, GA, died on 14 Feb 1976 in Marietta, Cobb Co, GA at age 75, and was buried in Kennesaw Memorial Park Cem, Marietta, Cobb, GA.

General Notes: Herbert was born in Cherokee County, Georgia. When he was a toddler his family moved to Hunt County, Texas, for a brief time. Before he was five they were back in Cherokee County, Georgia.

As a teenager he was his brother Robert "Bus" boxing manager. They were considering professional boxing Bus was getting beaten too many times.

As a young man in Marietta, Georgia, where he spent almost all of his adult life, he became interested in airplanes and is considered one of Cobb County's first aviators. He owned several planes and owned his own air field near the corners of Austell, Floyd, and Hurt Roads. When he was just getting started he and some of his brothers would go to a neighboring city (ex: Rome, Carrollton, ...) and find a friendly farmer that they could use his land for a temporary air strip and sell brief airplane rides.

He married Willie COLLINS (Aug 14 1901

Oct 13 1973). Theylived most of their adult married life (if not all) on Delk Street in Marietta. For the first years the back of their yard's corner touched his parents back corner. Their neighbor was the Delk Family, which the street was probably named after. Ironically, his neighbor the Delks were his biggest competitor in the downtown barber shop business.

Herbert owned a barber shop on Church Street named "Hunter's Barber Shop" It had a crackerbarrell atmosphere where men would discuss politics and sports (mostly fishing). The barber shop was closed on Wednesdays. That was the day that Herbert went to lake Alatoona and fished. His boat was docked at Alatoona Landing.

CINDY'S GARDEN

Mabry Middle Students will continue to grow in memory of former teacher.

By Sue Meade

Marietta Daily Journal Staff Writer

For 18 years Cindy Crain Wheeler planted seeds of knowledge in her sixth grade social studies students at Mabry Middle School. Now, her former students are planting seeds in her honor, so her memory lives and grows.

Known as Cindy's Garden, a living memorial to the late Mrs. Crain Wheeler was dedicated May 3. A lifelong resident of Marietta, Mrs. Crain Wheeler died of complications of cancer in September 1999.

"She was an excellent and vivacious teacher, with a passion for teaching. She was a wonderful teacher and role model. She was like an icon at the school," principal Gerri Ray said.

"This is what she would have wanted if she were here now, she'd find a way to have her class out here," she added.

Cindy's Garden brings new life to the west side of the middle school. The garden is located just outside the beloved teacher's former classroom.

The plaque on the garden bench is inscribed "Her genuine love of teaching children touched countless lives."

The garden has helped bring some solace to her parents, lifelong Cobb residents Robert and Evelyn Crain.

"We really like this garden. I think it's really great that they did it. I'm not a gardener, but I'm going to help keep this up." Crain said.

"Everything they have done has included students and that's what Cindy would have wanted. The entire school is like a family," Mrs. Crain said. The Crains plan to give yearly funding to the school's Environmental Committee to help with upkeep and future expansion.

The garden project has not only help beautify the school grounds, but it has formed a bond between students, teachers, and parents. It seems to be a welcoming magnet for memories of the much loved teacher. While the Crains visited the garden earlier this week, students and teachers stopped by to share stories.

"She was a very good teacher, very involved. She made learning fun." Said eight grade student Alyson Snow. Alyson and classmate Carla Bourke sang "This Day," at the recent garden dedication ceremony.

"You walk by here and you think of her. You always know, this is Mrs. Wheeler's garden," said former student Holly Hansen.

Noted events in her life were:

• School teacher at Maybry Middle School in Marietta, Ga.

• She enjoyed hobbies. Genealogy

• She had a residence in Kennesaw, Cobb Co, GA.

• Her obituary was published. Cindy Crain Wheeler, sixth-grade Cobb teacher

by Celia Sibley, staff writer.

Cobb County teacher Cindy Crain Wheeler of Kennesaw wore tennis shoes so she could keep up with her six-grade students.

She had a closet full of them - in assorted colors - to match her clothes, said Tammi Jecaobson of Marietta, who taught with her for more than 12 years at Mabry Middle School.

Spirited with red hair and dancing blue eyes, Ms. Wheeler managed to be inspring as well as strict, Mrs. Jacobson said. "She was energetic, tiny, and really gave herself to the kids and was always spending her own money on supplies and books. She loved social studies and wrote plays for the children to perform. She was a 24-hour-a-day teacher," Mrs. Jacobson said.

Ms. Wheeler, 42, died Friday of complications from cancer at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital.

The funeral is 2 p.m. today at Roswell Street Baptist Church. Mayes Ward-Dobbins Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Ms. Wheeler, a Cobb County native, taught sixth grade at Mabry Middle for 18 years and was the social studies coordinator. She was the School's teacher of the Year in 1997-1998.

She chaired the scholarship selection committee of Delta Kappa Gamma, a society for women in education, and she served on numerous other committees, including one that chose textbooks for Cobb County schools, Mrs. Jacobson said.

"She loved to divide her kids up for group work. She was a very hands-on teacher. The kids were involved all the time, and she was in the middle of whatever they were doing, not waching from afar, "she said.

Ms. Wheeler was dianosed withlymphoma when she was a senior at McEachern High School in 1975. This illness dogged her for years. Her mother Evelyn Crain of Marietta said she believed Ms. Wheeler was "called to teach" after she worked as a substitute teacher and saw eight-graders who could not read properly.

Before then, she had intended to be a criminal justice major at the University of Georgia, but she entered Kennesaw State University, close to home, when a sport was found on her kidney, Mrs. Crain said. She soon learn the sport was only scar tissue, but the delay was long enough to change her life's direction.

She decided to teach the sixth grade because students of that age tended to be more responsive to learning, her mother said.

Ms. Wheeler earned a degree in secondary education in 1980 at Kennesaw and went on to earn a master's degree in education at the State University of West Georgia.

She was known for working long hours. On weekends, she liked to visit antique shops and art exhibits or go to the movies with friends. Sometimes she traveled with her parents in their motor home.

She was a fighter and a wonderful inspiration to everybody she came into contact with," said Linda Campbell of Woodstock, another teacher and friend. "She was a good role model, and a mentor for all teachers."

Survivors other than her mother include her father, Bobby Crain of Marietta; two sister, Pam Hammons of Kinston and Jeanne Bellon of Marietta; and a brother Bobby H. Crain Jr., of Marietta.

Ray Robert "Bus" Hunter ( (1906-2005). Bus was born in Cherokee County, Georgia, and died as a resident of Douglasville, Georgia. He may have died in Atlanta at a hospital, I'm not sure. Bus was nicknamed Bus for almost the same Bea was called Bea. Bea could not pronounce Robert, it came out RBUS. I think it fitted, Bus was as strong as a Bus. He work for the FDR's CCC camps where he learned his trade. He worked as a lineman for Douglas County R.E.M.C. He had a reputation of picking up huge telephone poles single handedly and placing them in the hole dug for them. It was told at his funeral, it may or may not be true, but he was strong enough to have that kind of reputation. Maybe that was why he and his brother Herbert planned on him being a wrestler and boxer at one time.

Bus married Zelma (1909-1999) of Douglasville. They had one son, Jerry Hunter, who was a pilot during the Vietnam war and was shot down. In Douglasville, they named a multi-sports park the Robert Gerald Hunter Park, in honor of Jerry, being the first killed in the Vietnam War.

As far as I know Bus and Zelma attended every memorial for fallen military heroes that they had.

It is generally not known by the Hunter family but Bus played pool often at a certain pool hall in Douglasville. In the early 1960s a co-worker of mine lived in Douglasville and new Robert Hunter well. They played pool together often.

In his late 90s he could recite poetry as if he just memorized it the day before.

Ray Robert "Bus" Hunter [454], son of Frank Paris Hunter [40] and Minnie Victoria Tyson [41], was born on 31 May 1906 in , Cherokee Co, GA, died on 1 Apr 2005 at age 98, and was buried in Douglasville City Cemetery, Douglas Co, GA.

General Notes: As a teenager his brother Herbert was going to train him to box and be his manager. After several defeats they changed their minds.

He had a stroke May 14, 1989, but is still active (2001). At every family gathering he showed a quick sharp wit.

Noted events in his life were:

• Lineman REMC Power Co. - Douglas Co., Ga - retired

• He had a residence in Douglasville, Douglas Co, GA.

Ray married Zelma Ogle [455] [MRIN: 256]. Zelma was born on 19 Nov 1909, died on 11 Oct 1999 in Atlanta, Fulton Co, GA at age 89, and was buried in Douglasville City Cemetery, Douglas Co, GA. They had one son: Robert Gerald "Jerry".

General Notes: From the magazine LOOKING GOOD DOUGLAS COUNTY, Vol 1, Number 3, March/April 1988. Article JERRY HUNTER: he gave his life. By Vicki Harsbarger.

Jerry Hunter, 25, was about to complete his 34th mission of the Vietnam War.

The two months he had spent in Vietnam had been filled with missions such as this one. Supply lines were sought, supply lines were bombed.

The F-105 was a one-man jet requiring much expertise of the pilot. He delivered his bombs directly on the targeted bridge. The enemy fire hit the plane, he bailed out. The pilots watched as the parachute disappeared from sight in the trees.

From the ground, a beeper signal was heard by the pilots. They attempted a rescue, but enemy fire struck from the area of the area where the parachute had landed. A second plane was hit, and the pilots were forced to return to base.

Two months later, American soldiers were able to search the place where Robert Gerald Hunter went down. Laos natives took the men to the place where his body was buried.

Jerry began his final journey home to be buried in the town where he was voted most talented of Douglas County High School; where he dreamed of one day attending the Citadel; and where of dream of becoming a pilot began with an essay written on how Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic would affect the future of aviation.

Awards came early for Jerry Hunter. He was honored with other superlatives at Douglas County High School, with his claim to fame the title of Most Talented. He was well known for his artistic talents, and worked as editor of the school yearbook. He starred in the senior play.

"If anything happens to him, he's doing what he wants to do", his wife of one year, Laura Ann Milby, had said of Hunter. His parents, Robert and Zelma, had suggested that he choose a line of work in keeping with his Citadel degree in business administration, but he would not settle for less than his dreams.

"He wanted to be the best." Zelma Hunter reminisces. "He always wanted to be a good pilot. He said if he made a good place for himself in the Air Force he would make a career of it or he would be become a commercial pilot," she said.

The handsome flyer passed all manner of physical tests toprove his fitness of pilot training, which he received at Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta following his graduation from the Citadel with honors. Minor surgery was suffered twice by Hunter in order to fly the F-105, Mrs. Hunter said.

"He didn't want us to worry," Mrs. Hunter says lovingly of her son. "I'd ask him on the telephone if he'd been shot at, wanting him to say no. He'd say, "Yes, but they missed. Don't worry about it, Mom, sometimes it's fun."

During the week while the Hunters awaited the return of Jerry's body, the Chamber of Commerce acting on a motion by Church of Christ Minister Richard Waggoner, passed a resolution recommending that the park be memorably named Hunter Park.

On July 18, 1966, the Hunters' hopes died with the news of their son's death and his returning body. On July 22, funeral services were held at the Church where Jerry became a Christian, First Baptist Church of Douglasville. The church was overflowing as the first Douglas County military and 11th Citadel victim of the Vietnam war was laid to rest.

Over 100 flags flew at Douglasville businesses, painstakingly placed there by the remembering hands of the Jaycees. The town was subdued as businesses closed for the afternoon.

As faces were in unison at Rose Memorial Gardens Cemetery toward the casket containing the remains of Robert Gerald Hunter, the sound of planes roared overhead, urging the mourners to gaze upward.

Four planes flew across the horizon in unison, three planes returned.

Noted events in his life were:

• He served in the military. F-105 Pilot

Robert married Laura Ann Milby [21740] [MRIN: 7756].

Walter Clarence "W.C." Hunter (1908-1998). He was nicked named "W.C." by his family and "Peanut" by his drinking buddies. He was the first child of this family to be born in Marietta. Which indicates they moved from Woodstock between 1906 and 1908. About the only story I remember of W.C. as a boy was he climbed up a slim tree and had intentions of swinging the tree back and forth until it leaned over far enough near another tree that he could latch onto that and climb down the other tree. Before he could complete his mission the tree top broke and W.C. fell to the ground and was in a coma for months. The same thing happened to me. True. W.C. was a true casualty of World War II. He never got over the war, mentally, but lived about 45 years after the war. After he returned home his drinking was such a problem he lost everything, including his self-respect. For a while he was homeless. While he was homeless he walked up to me in downtown Marietta and asked me if I could do him a favor and carry him someplace. I don't know if he knew I was his nephew or thought I was a stranger. A friend of mine carried him to a Shell Station on Powder Springs Street know for selling bootleg whiskey. He asked us to wait on him, which we did. He went in and came out with something in a paper sack. Then he asked us to take him to a subdivision they were building just north of town by the name of Keeler Woods, which we did. He disappeared into the woods with his paper sack and came back without it and asked us to drop him off downtown, which we did. That was the last time I saw him alive.

Not long after that his siblings had him sent to a mental facility in Milledgeville. And after that we went to the Veterans Hospital in Milledgeville and got is where he spent the rest of his life.

W.C. had no off-springs that I know of and was married only briefly, then he lived on the side of Lake Jackson in middle Georgia.

One, during WWII at a military hospital in Africa he was recuperating from being shot in the head and adjusting to his metal plate placed in his head he and a friend were drinking coffee at the Red Cross at the hospital and in walked some sailors. He pointed to a sailor and told his friend that guy looked just like his youngest brother. And it was (Dick Hunter).

Ed, W.C., & ? and Hunter Cow

Ed & Jack

Edwin Tyson "Ed" Hunter, Sr. (1911-1988). Ed was born in Marietta, Georgia, on Waterman Street. He also died in Marietta. He is my Daddy. Ed's first paying job was with Glover Machine Works where his father Frank worked. He joined the National Guard and there he learned of an job opening as a patrolman for the Marietta Police Force, which he applied for and received. He had a bumpy law enforcer career. He was first a Marietta Police Patrolman, then he was promoted to Chief. Next he was appointed Chief of the Cobb County Police, then the new commissioner, Herbert McCollum fired Ed and appointed Cecil Holt as Police Chief. Daddy became a deputy sheriff for Kermit Sanders. And the next election Buna Walker ran against Kermit and Daddy was to be Buna's Chief Deputy. Kermit won reelection which meant Daddy lost his job. I think he next was a policeman for the City of Kennesaw. After that he directed traffic around highway work for C.W. Mathis. His last job was a Wells Fargo armor truck driver.

Ed was very easy going and gentle. He grew up in a large family so going to doctors for ailments was too much of a luxury. Because of that he learned a great deal about home remedies. I have seen him treat neighborhood kids with nails through their feet (clean with kerosene). my infected with risons legs (rub black walnut shell juice), foreign objects on the eyeball (flip the eye lid) and others I don't remember.

He married Ethel America "Janie" Petty in 1937. They had 3 children, two daughters and a son (me).

Edwin Tyson "Ed" Hunter Sr [5], son of Frank Paris Hunter [40] and Minnie Victoria Tyson [41], was born on 13 Aug 1911 in Marietta, Cobb Co, GA, died on 14 Jul 1988 in Marietta, Cobb Co, GA at age 76, and was buried in Kennesaw Memorial Park Cem, Marietta, Cobb, GA.

General Notes: Ed first worked at Glover Machine Works in Marietta where his father worked.

He was in the National Guard. He had two memorable experiences in the guard: (1) He was guarding Calloway Mills against strikers - he was one of the guards guarding the residence of the Calloway Family. A man tried to break into the house. Ed and the man begin to scuffle and they fell off the porch. Ed fell on top of him and it killed the man. He had to appear in front of Governor Eugene Talmadge for him to officially pardon him for the death. And (2) another time he was guarding the Governor's Mansion in Atlanta. He had orders not to let anyone in unless they had proof of business or an official pass. Eugene's son Herman Talmadge strolled up to enter and Ed refused to let him enter. After that they replaced him with someone who "could recognize the family".

He became a patrolman for the City of Marietta, and worked his way up to be the Chief of the Marietta Police (1949-1952). For a year or so he was a guard at Lockheed. Then he was the Chief of the Cobb County Police. Because of politics he left the county force and worked various jobs as a guard or law enforcer, which included the Kennesaw Police and a deputy of the Cobb County Sheriff's Department. In 1960, he ran with Buna Walker for the Sheriff's office, with Buna to be the Sheriff and Ed to be the chief deputy. They lost to Kermit Sanders (the incumbent). He was a armed truck guard for Wells Fargo when he retired.

Throughout his career as a policeman I have only heard of danger twice. Once he chased a suspect into an alley and the suspect turned around and pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger - by some miracle it only clicked. Another time an angry arrestee slammed the barred jail door on his hand breaking it.

Little known fact: He had the talents of an artist. He could have been an illustrator or a cartoonist with a little training.

He was a great story teller to little children. He loved to sit a niece or nephew down close to him and tell him a long involved adventure story involving someone of their gender and age. The child would be completely absorbed in the tale that Ed weaved as he told it. Also, shortly before Christmas he would call his young nieces and nephews and tell them he was Santa with a hearty 'Ho Ho' and go over their list with them. He always looked very delighted when he hung up the phone.

He was a very gentle soft spoken man. I only heard him raise his voice once - and that was to our dog that would chase behind us in the car to town. That irritated him.

He didn't give religion a serous thought until he was in his fifties. Then he joined the Crestview Baptist Church and was saved. Then, a couple years later when they moved to west of Marietta he was a charter and active member of Due West Methodist Church.

He always wore plain dark dress pants and either a white dress shirt or a pale blue dress shirt. He never wore anything sporty like a shirt with a design, polo styled shirt or any kind of sport pants or shorts. It just wasn't him.

They lived in various parts of Marietta: Whitlock Avenue, East Dixie Avenue, Atlanta Street, Wayland Street, Manget Street, Richard Street, and Old Hickory Drive.

While we're writing about police, let's pay tribute to Ed Hunter a dedicated, honest officer of 50 years of service who died this week at 76.

Hunter was Cobb County Police chief under Commission Chairman Rholie Ward. When Ward went out of office, Hunter became Marietta police chief.

As county chief, Hunter was involved in an unforgettable incident. Thirty-five years ago, Cobb County was a dry county. If John Q. Citizen wanted a snort he had to "go to the river" to liquor stores in Fulton County along the Chattahoochee River.

But most private clubs in Cobb like the Elks, Legion, Moose, Marietta Country Club and at least two fashionable restaurants served liquor by the drink.

Hunter thought it hypocritical that his officers would arrest someone for having a scant of moonshine while liquor sales continued at private clubs.

So it wasn't surprising when Harvey Hester, the former Congressional Medal of Honor owner of Smyrna's Aunt Fanny's Cabin, rang up Hunter to ask him to arrest an employee who stole booze from the bar and stashed it away in the nearby woods.

Instead, Hunter sent a raiding party to Aunt Fanny's, booked Hester and confiscated a truck load of whiskey. Hunter didn't have a list of who not to arrest. If you violated the law, he arrested you.

For some, flag no part of heritage

Colin Campbell - Staff

Thursday, January 18, 2001

The main reason Georgia's state flag of 1956 (which includes the Confederate battle flag) is still flying is that most white Georgians like the flag, resent being told it's offensive, or both. But there are clearly some white Georgians --- even among those very proud of their Southern heritage --- who want to see the flag changed. Excerpts from their letters:

Rockwell T. Hunter, Marietta: "Please add my name to the list of descendants of Confederate soldiers supporting a change in the current flag. I also happen to be a very conservative voter, yet I favor changing this upsetting symbol."

Rocky believes in going by rules, regulations, and traditions. He will only vote on the first Tuesday of November, even though, to lighten to load, in his voting area one can vote up to a week before hand and he must have pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving.

He has a mix hunting terrier named Belle.

Frank Jack Hunter (1914-1990). Jack was born in Marietta. A made a career of the Navy in the Pacific. He was a survival of Pearl Harbor and headed the local Pearl Harbor Survival Association. He was also responsible for rescuing Eddie Rickenbacker when Rickenbacker's plane went down in the Pacific. In the Navy Jack became a Chef Petty Officer.

Jack first married Sarah Nell Collins, 3 August 1941, in Rochester, New York. Secondly, he married Ruby Langley , 3 August, 1952, in Smyrna, Georgia. Jack and Ruby for a while ran her parents local mom & pop store in Smyrna, and Jack worked for Lockheed Corporation.

I always thought Jack was very easy going, serious, and jovial person. He always seemed to have a smile on his face.

He and Ruby had one son. Ruby and Jack Jr. are still living (2013).

Paris Douglas "Doug" Hunter (1916-1986). Doug grew up on Manget Street. I have seen a picture of him with a motorcycle that he rode to visit someone in Oklahoma. He was in the Army and afterwards, worked at Lockheed. It was accidentally discovered he was also a Marietta Fireman at one time.

He was a great baseball player and at one time was considered by a professional baseball team. I always thought he was very witty. He cracked me up kidding his nephews and nieces and giving them all nicknames. He called me "Teedo" who was a professional wrestler at the time. He could endlessly keep me giggling. When they visited us Doug always wanted to look through my comicbooks. When we visited him he showed us his hog he kept in a pen in the backyard. He married Lolagene Turner (1918-1996). They had four children, one daughter died as an infant and two daughters and one son are alive.

In the summer of 1982 Doug ane I went to the Descendants of John Hunter Reuion in Union County, Georgia. After the reunion, a distant cousin, Austin Hunter Wallis invited us over to her father's house to see it. It has been in the family for generations. Actually, her father moved out of the house and then lived in a double wide trailer next to the old house. Austin showed us bullent holes in the wall where one time the Hunters had a family ruckus and a few shots were fired. No one was injured. While there Austin's brother dropped by. He didn't go to the reruion but was there on business and dropped in to say hey. His name was Jack Hunter. Austine introduced us as living in Marietta. He said he also lived in Marietta. He asked where do we live and I said I lived off Sandy Plains Road and Doug said he lived on Pine Street. Jack Hunter said he lived on Pine Street also. As they called off numbers they discovered they lived next door to each other. Amazing!

John Stanley Hunter, Sr. (1920-1997). Stanley was born in Independence Day. Stanley was a big name athlete at Marietta High School. He was big in baseball and football. The Marietta High School year books of his time his pictures were in them from front to back. I have a picture of Stanley standing with his National Guard unit. He is the only one not in uniform. It makes we wonder if he was not old enough to enlist but served sort as their mascot until he was old enough to sign up. He was on the beaches or Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. I had two uncles there that day, Stanley, and my mother's brother, Roy. At the funeral home before my mother's funeral Roy was eager to talk about his D-Day Day but Stanley said he prefer not to talk about it. With all the wholesale killings that day, I could understand why Stanley felt the way he did. Stanley worked for Lockheed as his brothers.

Stanley was a good family man and a dedicated volunteer. I have seen him on the Square many times selling poppies for Veterans Day to help disabled veterans. He was always sincere.

Stanley Married Sarah Alice Frasure (1925-2004) of Marietta. They had two sons.

I heard a story one time as kids Jack was sitting at the table eating and Stanley was aggravating him. Jack through a fork at Stanley and it stuck in his butt. During Stanley's enlistment physical the doctor looked at the fork scar and said, "What is this, a snakebite?"

James Richard "Dick" Hunter (1923-1982). Dick was born in Marietta, Georgia. He was the youngest of nine children. During the 1940s, he spent more than one tour in the Navy. In his wedding picture his dress uniform he had hash stripes on his sleeve, which each stripe represents an extra tour of duty. One of his Naval assignments carried him to the Boston area. There he met his future bride Jeannette Quintal. They married in 1946. His brother Stanley just happened to be in the area attending an Army school and got to attend the wedding.

After his Navy time Dick and Jeanette moved to Marietta with their new young family. He went to work at Lockheed as a planner and in time became a city councilman and after that Mayor of Marietta.

Dick was the most positive of this brothers. I remember not long before he died I visited him in the hospital. On his death bed he was telling me the dreams he had for the development of his cabin and surrounding land in Suches, Georgia.

He and Jeannette had twelve children that lived to adulthood.
