Hathaway Treasured His Roots: "We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." — Thornton Wilder By Bob Weaver Reprinted From The Hur Herald David Barr Hathaway was a man connected to his roots, a man of many seasons and talents. His roots were in Calhoun County, the bustling county seat of Grantsville in the 1920's through the 40's. "Grantsville was the best place in the world in which to be born and become a young man," he said. He treasured his years at Calhoun County High School, documenting the destruction of his alma mater by fire in 1942. While long gone from the county, leaving to soldier in World War II, he was a Purple Heart recipient. He had a long-time career as an educator, returning to alumni reunions, frequently writing to the Hur Herald about his recollections. A collection of his photos from his Calhoun days will appear on the Herald. David is among several old-time Calhouners that gave inspiration to photograph and write about life in this tiny spot of the world. Thornton Wilder wrote, "There is a land of the living and a land of the dead, and the bridge is love." David's love of life and place will remain.
