Who Hunter?
I have shown all the old Foster pictures I have. Now, we will switch to some old Hunter pictures.
This first picture is of some unknown people that may have Hunter ties. This picture was given to me by a distant cousin. The picture was handed down to her along with some identified Hunter pictures. This is probably a picture of some Hunters also.
By the slope of the terrain in relation to the building in the background I think the building is Carmel Baptist Church just outside of Woodstock on Highway 92. Around back is the cemetery, which our ancestors William A. and Emaline Ray Hunter are buried (Emaline in 1925 and William in 1928). Also some of their children are buried there.
William and Emaline’s son Charles Jefferson is buried there, next to his parents. The picture had been passed down Charles Jefferson Hunter’s family line. He died in 1954. Does that car in the background look like a 1950ish model? Could this be people lingering outside after the burial of Charles?
Fascinating to look at photos of "way back then".
ReplyDeleteIn fifty to a hundred years, people of the future, our whipper-snapper offspring, will be looking at the photos/movies,videos,dvd's of us and commenting much as we are now. Will they be saying "I can't believe they dressed like that" or "they got around in one of those things"?
Si,
ReplyDeleteThat is about what I thought when I first saw an operational outhouse.
