The Hunt's were sawmill people, working with wood. They say he could walk thru a section of forest and tell you how many board feet you could get out of it.

Notes from Albert Hunt's memories:
Dad was a sawyer and a cooper and run a farm. He told me about making barrels. About 1901, he moved to Boston, Ga to run a sawmill. In 1902, he was living in Pine Park, Grady County, Ga running another saw mill and farming. 1904 he moved to Sanford Fla and in 1924, he moved to Brunswick.
