Dr. William Robert Hunt's office was on the second floor of a building at 214 West Main Street. Just before dawn on January 8, 1935, he was called to the Presley home and delivered Jesse Garon Presley, who was stillborn, and thirty-five minutes later delivered Elvis Aaron Presley. Officially noted on medical record 920, Elvis was born about halfway through Dr. Hunt's career delivery of just over 1,800 babies. Dr. Hunt died in 1952, never knowing of Elvis' international success.
