By the early 1950's, Georgia Hunt had moved off the hill and in with her eldest daughter Ruth, who worked as a schoolteacher and had a cozy little house on "the lane" (it had no official name until recently) down in the valley. Georgia Hunt died in 1961. Several years later Ruth, who had remained single into her fifties, married Mr. Ira Ice, a retired grocery store owner and former mayor of nearby Mannington, West Virginia.
