Throwback
Thursday. Two of my aunts, Lolagene and
Bee standing in my grandparents' front yard on Manget Street.
Lolagene
Turner Hunter (1918-1996) is the wife of my father's brother Doug Hunter. They had four children, one died at
childbirth. Lolajene worked at the
library. I remember one time coming into
the library and saw her reading a story to a group of children. She was putting much feeling into it, I had a
feeling she was a local sensation among the kids. I think the Marietta Journal one time did a
story on her story telling abilities.
She and Doug gave Anna and I a baby shower and about 1985 gave all the next-generation Hunters an Easter Egg Hunt.

Elizabeth
Beatrice "Bee" Hunter Crain (1903-1971) nickname was "Bee" because one of her younger brothers had a hard time saying Beatrice. She was a telephone operator in
Marietta. After she married Robert
Spencer Crain she settled down having five kids and enjoying her huge extended
family, at times helping out when one of her brothers needed it. She and her family lived in a big house on Garrison
Road and hosted several family reunions and at least a couple of wakes or
visitations that I remember (her parents).
