Two census records. Ten years apart. Same address. The 1900 census places Frank O'Driscoll Hunter at 218 Gaston Street as a six year old boy in his father's household. The 1910 census places him at the same address — now sixteen years old. That is the strongest form of confirmation available in genealogical research.
He left Savannah and went to war. Then he went to war again. By the time World War II was over Frank O'Driscoll Hunter had commanded the Eighth Air Force bomber groups in the European theater — some of the most dangerous military operations in American history. He rose to the rank of General.
When the United States Army named a new airfield in Savannah they named it after him. Hunter Army Airfield. It still bears his name today. Tens of thousands of Savannah residents drive past that name every year. Almost none of them know the General grew up at 218 Gaston Street.
