In 1965 in the Newspaper the Salem Headlight...(page 6 Col 1-6 9-23-1965) a Vester Williams wrote a

story about "The Hutch Dunham Family"

In the Story it mentioned that as a boy and young man " Mr Dunham cleared land along the banks of

South Fork River and fished in her waters. He knew where the most fertil land was located along

the river from Moko to Hardy. He also knew where the best places were to hide from the bushwhackers

during the civil was for he had some very narrow escapes before he could enlist in the Army.

It was reported that the young people of Fulton Co referred to Strangeman as "Uncle Hutch" and that

he could sure tell some Hair-rasing tales. Stories of Panthers, wild hogs ...How the name of Panther

Springs got its name and so on.If Mr Dunham did not own the present O.A. (Slim) Wood farm when he

married, he became its owner soon after. Mr Dunham was a excellant farmer and superb stockman

History seems to indicate that the Dunham home was a lodging place for all types of traveling

people. There were records of Circuit Riders as well as Jesse James.

Nancy Dunham out lived Strangeman and she died in 1941.Her Orbit was listed as Such:

Wed. Dec 17 1941...(Ark Gazette 12-17 1941 pg 14 Col 4).

Mrs. Nancy C. Dunham 90,widow of Hutch Dunham died at her home here Sunday She was born in Howell

Co Mo and came to Salem community at six months old She is survivd by a son Jess Dunham of Salem

and two daughters Mrs J H Wells ( Safrona)of Glencoe and Mrs Iva Wyatts of Cushing Okla.
