Hunter Revisits Village
Was a Boy Here 80 Years Ago; Now
Drug Man in Kansas City

Will Hunter, who lived here
as a boy about 30 years ago
when his mother was superin-
tendent of the old Commons hall,
was in Chapel Hill for a few
hours Tuesday. He is the owner
of three drugstores in Kansas
City.
Recently he drove in his big
Nash car from the Middle West
to Kinston. He is taking his
mother back to Kansas City with
him, and it was on the west
bound trip that they stopped
over here. She called on her
friend, Mrs. Kluttz, while her
son walked about the village
trying, with little success, to find
people and places that he rec
ognized.
Will Hunter is remembered
here as a bicycle expert. He
came to Chapel Hill when
bicycles were in their heyday,
and he ran a repair shop and did
trick riding that aroused the
envy Of all the other boys. He
was also a good tennis and base
ball player and a Jealous bird
hunter.
On his trip from Kansas City
to Kinston, by way Of Indiana,
Dayton, and Washington, he
brought along in his car a radio
set, an orthophonic victrola, q
dog, and a Persian kitten.
