Alice Elizabeth (Bunger) Hamilton - Paternal Grandmother
Elizabeth Bunger Hamilton beside the Bunger home place, with the old "new" barn that mysteriously burned to the ground in 1936. The insurance policy on the barn had expired two days before the fire. Thus, the barn was a great financial loss to the family.
The old water well foundation, just blocked by Elizabeth's arm, is still present today. Also, there is no electric meter on the house. No electricity! RECC came through the valley in 1937 or 38. Bobby would have been 7 or 8 when electricity arrived on the farm.This property is now part of Hidden Spring Farm, owned by Bobby Hamilton |
