   IRVING E. HUNT, M. D. A young physician of Montgomery county, who has already

proved his ability and acquired a first-class practice in town and country, is

Dr. Irving E. Hunt, who, besides his growing general practice, is physician and

surgeon to the Odd Fellows' Home in this county. Dr. Hunt was a third-honor man

in a large class graduating from the medical department of the University of

Nashville, and in his subsequent career has kept pace with any of his associates

during his university career.



   Irving E. Hunt, who represents one of the old families of Cheatham county,

Tennessee, was born at Pleasant View in that county, June 8, 1881, a son of John

R. and Mary C. (Teasley) Hunt. His paternal grandfather, John Wesley Hunt, was

born in Tennessee early in the last century and was a substantial farmer during

his active years. The materal grandfather, Dempsey Teasley, was also a native of

this state and a farmer.



   The parents were both natives of Cheatham county, the father born in 1851 and

the mother in 1855. After his educational training he took up farming, and with

tobacco as his main crop has followed that pursuit ever since. He and his wife

still reside in Cheatham county. They are members of the Methodist church, and

in politics he is an independent Democrat. Their five children are as follows:

Ellen, at home; Sterlng, a farmer in Cheatham county; John, at home; Irving E.;

and Clara, at home.



   Irving E. Hunt finished his early education in the Pleasant View high school

in 1902, and before beginning his preparation for medicine he taught one year.

He then entered the university at Nashville, where he was graduated M. D. with

the class of 1907. At Woodlawn and then at St. Bethlehem he practiced three

years, and in the spring of 1910 moved to New Providence and became physician to

the Odd Fellows' Home. He enjoys a large country practice, and much of his time

is taken up in responding to the needs of his patients along the various country

highways, a class of practice which is as healthful as it is arduous. Dr. Hunt

is a member of the county and state medical societies and the American Medical

Association. Fraternally he is an Odd Fellow and Woodman of the World, and his

church is the Methodist, while his wife is a Baptist.



   Dr. Hunt was married in 1910 to Miss Lottie W. Booth, a daughter of Charles

T. Booth, who is in the mill business and an extensive dealer in land at St.

Bethlehem.
