Many East End, Ironton, Landmark and Sweet Home babies were born in Dr. Junkin's Hospital.
Mrs. Junkin was a school teacher, teaching 5th grade at East End Elementary School, a civic-
minded person who socialized with everyone, and wrote many biographies about local people, 
that were placed in the Benton Courier in the 1950's.

The Junkin home was on the hill, at Lorance Curve, in Saline County, now the property of the 
Reeds.
It has been stated that Mrs. Junkin rode on the school bus each day, to teach school.

Both Dr. and Mrs. and members of their family are interred in Primrose Cemetery, across the 
street from the hospital, on Dixon Road, Little Rock, Ark. Pulaski County. 
The hospital was torn down many years ago, and the property is now owned by Southwest Nursing 
Home.
