Gunters are to this day living in the Bellevue area. Members of that family Jim & Carolyn operated Gunters Market for a long time just over the railroad tracks that made an T intersection off McCroy Ln. on Hwy. 70 toward Pegram. I remember folks by that surname in the community while growing up over there back in the early '70s. B.
