Creed C. Hunter, a progressive and prosperous farmer of Franklin County, Ark., is a Mississipian, born in Lafayette County, June 29, 1850, and is a son of Stephen D. and Ellen C. (Smith) Hunter [see sketch of Joel Q. Hunter for parents’ history]. The following are the names of their children who are living: Joel Q., S. D., Bell (wife of John Jeffin), L. S., Loba (who lives with her mother), S. H. (who also resides on the old home place) and Creed C. The latter remained with his parents until he attained his twenty-first birthday, when he engaged in farming and stock dealing, which he has continued up to the present time, meeting with more than an ordinary degree of success. He now owns a large, well-improved and well-stocked farm, and is considered one of the prosperous citizens of the county. On October 13, 1873, he was united in marriage to Miss Cener Boone, a daughter of Col. Squire Boone. She was born in Franklin County, Ark., July 10, 1857, and by Mr. Hunter became the mother of seven children: Voet, Claud, Edgar, Jessie, Neta, Otis and Colonel. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and he is a Democrat in his political views. He is ever ready to aid all worthy enterprises, such as schools, churches, etc., and in his business dealings with his fellow men has ever been fair, honorable and just.
