| Notes |
- Bob Weaver, in an article on his Calhoun County website www.hurherald.com, reported as follows: "It is the Husk family, a hardy and stalwart bunch, whose presence claims most of the memories. They landed on some of the roughest land in Calhoun County, steep, rocky and barely able to produce crops. Moving rocks by the tons, creating rock fences, they often farmed against the hillsides in long furrows. Many of them built houses in the narrow hollows, where the sun shown but a few hours a day. ... Mary Husk Bryner, who died more recently in her late nineties, recalled hard times near The Husk. Her family fought starvation in the early part of the 1900's 'eating snow birds and weed soup' just to make it through."
