During the fall and winter hunting seasons, this undated photo of Ozark County hunters from long ago seems appropriate. The photo, from the collection of former Ozark County resident Donetta Newton Clouse, now living in Springfield, depicts a hunting party of men and boys ready to set out with gun, dogs, traps and an ax. Former Ozark Countian Randy Ebrite identified the man at right (with his eyes closed) as his grandpa, the late Buck Morrison. Ebrite said the boy next to him carrying the ax is a Newton, and the man at left is believed to be Morrison’s cousin. The other two boys are unknown. If you can provide more information about the hunters’ identities, please contact Sue Ann Jones (sueann@ozarkcountytimes.com or 417-679-4641).
