I have now annotated all of the notes that Eleanor Neely Buntin (1904-1989) wrote
in the margins of her copy of DEVIL MAKE A THIRD. I have added links
and information concerning each of her comments. This work leaves NO DOUBT as to the correct answer for the recent question to the DOTHAN EAGLE Answer Man, "Is the novel DEVIL MAKE A THIRD about Dothan?" because I was able to find documentation for EVERY ONE OF MRS. BUNTIN'S COMMENTS!
Mrs. Buntin grew up in
Montgomery and married T.E. Buntin (1896-1958) in 1926 so she never had
the chance to meet many of the Dothan people who served as models for
characters in DEVIL MAKE A THIRD but she was well acquainted with many
of Dothan's citizens whose lives were used by author Dougie Bailey to
shape the characters in his fictional Southeast Alabama town of Aven.
Her husband, Thomas Eugene Buntin, was used as a model for the
character of the small red headed boy on page 171 of DEVIL MAKE A THIRD. There are now 5 major posts on my blog. This is the link which shows the work I did on Mrs. Buntin's comments. https://privatepropertynotrespass.blogspot.com/2017/07/slave-labor-httpsarmyhistory.html
