Jim: The Hunter "boys" mostly put me to pasture in 1914. I was having trouble with my vision, and "Haze" Keller (Tom's boy) was doing most of the traveling. They didn't work me very hard, but after they were forced into bankruptcy in 1917 by the failure of their Battle Island Paper & Pulp Co. (NOT the gun works) I stayed on to help Dr. Lee and the other Fulton businessmen until Hunter Arms was sold to the Simmons family in 1920. After a cold winter in Fulton I headed to sunny Florida in 1921.
