FRANK HUNTER



Frank Hunter, president of the Sabine State Bank, was born in Marshall County,

Tenn., February 28, 1875, and spent his boyhood days on a farm.  He was given

fair opportunities for procuring an education and he took advantage of them,

and was able to pursue the profession of teaching, but subsequently decided to

enter upon a business career, for which his education fitted him.  In 1901 he

came to Many to become cashier of the Sabine Valley Bank, the first banking

institution which was organized in the parish.  He remained in this position

until the Many State Bank and the Sabine Valley Bank were consolidated and

rechartered under the name of Sabine State Bank when he was made president of

that institution, which position he still occupies. He is a conservative and

progressive business man, and besides attending to his duties as the head of

the bank has given encouragement and assistance to worthy enterprises and has

filled several positions, honorary and political.  He is a good citizen and as

president of the bank is always ready to extend favors when it in the interest

of safe banking to do so.  In 1904 Mr. Hunter was married to Miss Persia Brown

of Canton, Miss., and they have an interesting family and pretty home.
