Wild and Crazy Bachelors







Throwback Thursday.  Two wild and crazy guys on the prowl:  Herbert Hunter (1901-1976) and his uncle  (mother's brother) Ed Tyson (1888-1967).  Ed was about 13 years older than his nephew but just return from WWI (as a medic) and not yet married.  He married Lula Kuykendall in 1935.  It may have been Hubert's last fling as a single man.  He was married shortly after that.

See the girl on the in the background eyeing them?  It reminds me of the old PLAYBOY Magazine ads with the caption:  "What type of man reads PLAYBOY?"

But again, that girl could be a cousin.  There were plenty of them around.


Ed spent his life as a farmer in the Hwy 92 and Bells Ferry Road area of Cherokee County.    Herbert spent his life as a barber and Marietta's unofficial town crier.
