DR. KENNETH STOVALL HUNT Died July 28, 1959 In the death of Dr. Kenneth Stovall Hunt Grifhn schools lost a loyal friend. Dr. Hunt was born and received his early education at Milner. After graduating from Gordon Military College at Barnesville, he continued his education in the medical school at Vanderbilt. After serving in World War I Dr. Hunt returned to Criflin to practice medicine. In an ofhcial capacity Ur. Hunt served as president of the medical society, as president of the hospital staff, and as coun- sellor of the Fourth District Medical Society. These honors, and offices came to him in recognition of his leadership in the com- munity and in his profession. His most important activity in civic life was his interest in education. On November 6, 19-11, he received the Hrst appoint- ment as a member of the Criliin Board of Education. He became president of thc old Crifiin Board on November 6, I9-17, and IN MEMGRIAM served in that capacity until the merger of the two school sys- tems on January 1, 1953. He was named by the city commis- sioners to the newly created Griffin-Spalding County Board of Education and was the logical choice for chairman, to which position he was reelected each year thereafter. His tolerance, patience, and understanding kept educational affairs moving forward. Teachers felt that they were secure in their work and students that their educational advantages were superior because Dr. Hunt was on the Board. ,lust as he was more than a physician in his profession, he was more than a board member to hundreds of teachers and students in this community. In spite of many demands on his time and energy, he always found time for school people and school problems. His death leaves a host of students and former students who have fallen under his influence and sincerely regret his passing.
