History goes way back to the early 1800's on Buffalo Ridge. Hunt-Martin Cemetery was on Jesse Hunt land on Buffalo Ridge and off Shadden Road. Samuel M Hunt son of Jesse Hunt had built a house and after his death in 1868 Henry Martin son John Calhoun Martin bought the house in the 1870's. In 1890 John Calhoun A Martin and wife Sarah J Bacon Martin to Henry Martin Walker 5 acres more or less for $125.00. Adjoins the lands of Elizabeth Murray and others. Later son John Walter Martin lived on this farm and also operated the store on the land that his father had operated. His sister Cordelia Thomas Martin married William Monroe Fulkerson and lived in the Samuel Hunt house. Their son John Milton Fulkerson was the last owner of the Samuel Hunt house. The Hunt-Martin Cemetery has the burials of the Martin family on the west side and the Hunt family on the east side of the cemetery. It overlooks the Gray Fossil cemetery to the west. Little did the Hunt and Martin families know there had been dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals living on their land. Thanks, Janelle Walker Warden
