Alton Elmor Hunter was born March 4, 1869, in Tennessee, to James T. Hunter and Rhoda Green. He was found in the 1870 US Federal Census residing in the household of his parents in Warren County, Tennessee, which is perhaps where he had been born the previous year.

Alton first married Nellie Toliver on January 22, 1888, in Franklin County, Tennessee. It is assumed that this marriage produced no children and that Nellie died not long after the marriage took place.

Alton later married Rachel Elisabeth Bass on March 26, 1891, in Franklin County, Tennessee. To this union was born ten children - Maggie D., Willie Ann Josephine (Bird), Rhoda (Bradford), Ola Wilson (Winkles), Riley Bradford, Sallie Louise, Charlie, James Euin, Earl Alton, and Lizzie Mae (Ikard).

Alton brought his family to Madison County, settling in the Big Cove Communinity prior to 1900, which is when they were first enumerated in the "Collier's Precint" of that year's census. His one year old daughter, Rhoda, is listed as having been born in Tennessee, which places the Hunter's arrival to Big Cove sometime around 1899/1900.

It is known that in the mid-1910's, Alton and family lived in a log home on James Drive in Big Cove. This is where Free Holiness was first preached in this community in 1914.

Alton Elmor Hunter died August 26, 1929, from malaria, and was laid to rest in the Campground Cemetery in Big Cove, Alabama.
