They built a house in the town of Bullard and there added nine children of their own(three died in infancy). The house in Bullard still stands - you would know it by the big letter H on the chimney. Dr. Hunter as a well-respected and loved Father, doctor and member of the community. He tended to the ill no matter the time or their circumstances.
