The Hunter Twins

These twins are the youngest sons of William A. and Emaline Ray Hunter/Trammell. Oscar Ray and Arthur Riley Hunter. Oscar Ray Hunter (1884-1963) went to the Panama Canal Zone. He went there as a young man and worked for the United States Government as an account. The second picture is Oscar formally dress for an event at the Panama Zone. He married a nurse there Charlotte Georgia McCabe. They had one son, William Ray Hunter (1924-2012) who became an aerospace engineer. He and his wife Dorothy Edmondson came to the Hunter Reunion in Marietta for several years. They had four children. Dorothy is living in an assistant living home in Springfield, Virginia. Arthur Riley Hunter (1884-1967). Arthur married Gwen Westmoreland and bought a farm in Cordele, Georgia., where they lived until he retired and moved to Florida. They had five children. Gwen Westmoreland (1887-1978) is part of the Westmoreland family that owned property at Bells Ferry Road near Booth Road. I think several houses in that area were Westmorelands. I remember back in the early 1960s we used to go to the houseboat at Victoria Landing at Lake Allatoona most weekends. Routinely, we usually stopped at Jake Medford's Store on Bells ferry Road to buy our beer. We bought our beer there because we met Jake's age requirement - we were old enough to slide the money across the counter. (we are related to him through the Tysons and Hueys) We started drinking as soon as pulled out of the parking lot. We finished our first can about the time we passed a certain house in the Westmoreland area of Bells Ferry Road. That is where we tossed our first beer cans out for the day. One time when we tossed our beer cans out in that yard a man cutting grass glared at us. The next Saturday morning as we tossed our cans in the yard a man jumped out from behind a tree with a pistol and took aim. We fled away screaming. We did not do that again. That may have been an in-law taking pot shots at us. Small world. And we have grown up and matured since then too.
