Additional commentary.
1. Huntersville, Arkansas
I just found out tonight from my grandfather that Huntersville was named after his grandparents, my great great grandparents. Which I thought was really cool. He said he didn’t even know if it was still there anymore so I got on line to check and saw this memorial and read about it. I thought it would be nice to share that it was named for my family. My name is Amy Hunter my great grandfather was Crocker Hunter and it was his parents the town was named after.
