was the oldest member of a large, as well as one of this counties most prominent 
families.  He leaves beside his wife, two children:  Mrs. S. Tyler Rakes,

the following brothers and sisters:  Hon J. M. Hooker,  Judge H. Lester Hooker,  
Dr. Geo. W. Hooker,  John A. Hooker,  S. H. Hooker,  Charlie Hooker,  R. L. 
Hooker,  I. T. Hooker,  Mrs. Geo S. Nolen and Mrs. Nannie Turner.  Funeral
