Editorâs Note: This is the 389th in a series of articles recalling vanished Huntington scenes. HUNTINGTON â In 1906, author Jesse Hilton Stuart was born in W-Hollow in Greenup County, Kentucky, and lived there his whole life, except for his college years and later when he spent time abroad. But his visits to Huntington and the Marshall University campus were so frequent that many in the community looked on him as one of their own. Mitchell Stuart, the future authorâs father, could neither read nor write, and his mother, Martha, had only a second-grade education. But they taught their two sons and three daughters to value education, and all five children graduated from college.
