BiographyJAMES WALKER HOOTEN, MD (1841-1899)

(Obituary copied from a newspaper clipping. Name of newspaper and date
unknown.)

"Dr. J.W. Hooten died at his home at Lometa, Texas, July 21st , 1899, of carcinoma of the liver, of which disease he had suffered for twelve months, but during his suffering, he never did become discouraged. He seemed to realize his condition and stated all the time that he was ready to go, and a few days before his death he wrote the following lines in a memorandum book: "I was born March 17th, 1841, in Marshall county, Tenn., moved with my father, Dr. E.R. Hooten, and family to Hopkins county, Texas, in the fall of 1846. Obeyed the gospel in 1854, was married to M.A. Testerman, daughter of Jessie and Mary Testerman, May 30th, 1860." He died at the age of 58 years. Brother Hooten moved to Lampasas county, a bout 29 years ago and practiced medicine ever since. He stood high in his profession as a physician. He was not a preacher of the gospel, but a teacher, and always ready to defend the cause of our blessed Master when brought in question by its enemies. During all his illness he continued to read the Bible until his eyes became so weak that he could not read; but he continued to talk to his friends, and told them he had no fear of death. He will be greatly
missed by all who knew him best as a citizen and a Christian gentleman. He would give the last cent for the support of the gospel. But sad to say he will be with us no more in this world, but we hope to live so as to meet him in that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, where the righteous shall forever dwell. He left a dear Christian wife and seven children to mourn his loss, five of them are members in one body. Bro. G.A. Trott was called upon by the writer to make a talk at the grave, which was very instructive and sympathetic. Brother Hooten was the writer's father-in-law and has proven to be a true father to me in all my troubles."

"In conclusion we wish to thank all of our neighbors for their kindness shown us, also the kindness shown us by the physicians who attended Brother Hooten and all his time and attention to our assistance. To the members of the church of Christ we can say they have shown that there is a reality in the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ, by their kind attention. Remember, dear brethren and sisters, it is our duty to visit the widow and orphans in their afflictions, to console them in their bereavement. I hope every Christian who knew Brother Hooten will paste this in the front of their Bibles, and try to follow in his footsteps."

"Yours in hope of eternal life,"
"F.W. Dent"
"Lometa, Texas."

The following was copied from the "THE LAMPASAS LEADER" Friday, August 25,
1899:
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

To the Worshipful Master, Wardens and Brethren of Ennys Creek Lodge, No, 514, A. F. & A. M.

At 5 o'clock A.M. on Friday, July 21, J. W. Hooten died in Lometa, Lampasas county, Texas, after months of lingering illness. His mortal remains were deposited in the earth by your hands in the presence of the assembled population of Lometa and the surrounding country. His body rests in the grave waiting for the general resurrection of the dead. Job asked as we do, "If a man die shall he live again!" Mortal' man has not answered this fuller than

Did Job, "Though my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.", "For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth, whom I shall see for myself."

Brother Hooten was the son of Dr. E. Hooten a pioneer preacher in the Christian church, and a man of a broad and good influence as a preacher and citizen. Born March 17, 1841, in Marshall county, Tennessee by parents of correct morals in the pure atmosphere of farm life. In early life he joined the church of his parents faith, in which he continued while he lived. The impress of character and training from his parents enabled him to go through camp life in the Confederate army without a shadow of a blemish. After he became of lawful age, he was made a Mason by Ennys Creek Lodge. No. 514, at Lometa, Texas, and always lived close to the precepts taught him. He was an ideal Mason. Shortly after his return from the army, he began the practice of medicine in and around Senterfitt, where he spent the remainder of his life. He never lost or had to hunt for a job--he was always too deeply engaged in matters entrusted to him to meddle with the affairs of others. He was at different times connected with and entrusted
with matters, and was never known to improperly tell what was being done in such matters. He was a quiet, dignified gentleman, unremittingly punctual to his post of duty and business. The tides of gayety seekers came in, and the tides of pleasure seekers went out, but he remained at work. The tides of human passions ebbed and flowed with the barren sands of ambition, but he remained quiet and unobtrusive at work.

At the age of 21 years, he was married, on May 30th, 1879, to Miss Martha Ann Testerman. in Hopkins county, Texas, to whom, with five daughters and two sons, he leaves his name, his memory and his love. In the history of Lometa, or of this Lodge, never did more people assemble to pay the last tribute to the dead, than quietly came to lay away the body of this quiet, plain business man. The last twenty years of his life passed within twenty. miles of his grave.

He moved with his father's family from Marshal! County Tennessee, to Texas in the fa!1.of 1846. There was no attraction of great wealth or civic or military titles to which his fellow beings felt constrained to do honor, but every one was drawn by the stronger cord of belief and conviction that he was a personal friend, faithful and just, even to the restoring of four-fold to any whom he might have wronged. About October, 1898, he took his bed, the new year found him sick, but he rallied in early Spring, but the newness of life passed unenjoyed by him, whose life had been devoted to work and duty. He bore his six month's sickness with the same patience that he had discharged the duties of life, without a murmur, waiting patiently, fearlessly until he should in see the third watch of the day in the form of an angel to relieve him of his toil. The angel of rest that the Supreme Grand Master sent in the first watch of the seventh day to relieve his weary laborer, that divinest angel that ever comes to the abode of man though her beauty shines forever through tears.

The toiler has left. his labor forever, and has entered the middle chamber to receive his wages and learn the mysteries that lie within the vale. He shall return no more to his home, neither shall his place know him any more.

Biography"ELIJAH HOOTEN (1753-1844)

Revolutionary War Soldier

The data which follows were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S. 4388, based upon the service of Elijah Hooten in The Revolutionary War

Elijah Hooten was born in the year 1753 in the State of North Carolina. The names of his parents were not given.

While a resident of Cumberland County, North Carolina, Elijah Hooten volunteered late in 1779, served as a private in Captain Edwards' company, Colonel Williams' North Carolina regiment, he was in the battle of Gates' Defeat, and in the battle of Guil ford Court House, where he was severely wounded, and returned to his home in Cumberland County, North Carolina.

After the Revolution he moved from Cumberland County, to Grayson County, Virginia, then to near Scottsville, in Kentucky, then to Warren County, Tennessee, thence to White County, Tennessee.

He was allowed $20 per annum pension on his application executed April 18, 1834, at which time he was living in White County, Tennessee. He died March 11, 1844.

(Following is a copy of the original application for pension)

State of Tennessee
White County

On this 16 day of April 1834 personally appeared in open Court before the Justice of the Court of pleas and greater sessions for said county now sitting Elijah Hooten or Whooten, a resident of said County aged about Eighty one years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832.

That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as here in stated.

He is olden his memory frail: to the best of his recollection he entered the service as a private volunteer soldier, under Captain Edwards in Cumberland County North Carolina: he thinks this was some time in the latter part of the year 1779 = his engagement was for twelve months - and has served it out. He was under the command of General Caswell: The troops to which he belonged joined General Gates on "deep River", at a place called "Cox's Settlement". He remained with Gates' army until Gates' defeat near Camden. He was in that battle - and can relate many of the occurrences of the day - but it is deemed unnecessary. He will barely mention that his Captain & Lieutenant were both killed - his Lieutenants name was Castor this declarant was present, and near to his Lieutenant when he was killed. - His Colonel's name was Williams: His engagement as stated above was only for twelve months, but he remained in the service until the battle of Guilford, having joined General Greenes army, after Gates' defeat - his Captain's name, (i.e. after the death of Edwards) he cannot remember, the troops were dispersed and scattered after Gates' defeat - which circumstance makes it difficult for him to remember his officers at Guilford - He was in that memorable battle, and received a severe wound, which disables him so that he could not serve any longer - he was taken home to Cumberland County - and was unable to walk at the close of the war. The scars, or indications of the wound, are at this day Clearly to be seen, and inspected by the Court. It has occasioned him to be a cripple, ever since he received the wound, and will so continue to the day of his death. He cannot positively say, that he was in the service two years as a private soldier. He can however state that as his best impression and is positively sure of having served one year and six months - for which he claims a pension. He knows of no living witness by whom he can prove his service. He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his names is not on the pension roll agency of any state. Answer to the interrogations prescribed by the war department and propounded by the Court.

1. He was born in North Carolina, the County he does not remember - the year 1753 -

2. He has no record of his age-

3. When called into the service he lived in Cumberland County N.C. from there he removed to Grayson County Va from there to Kentucky near Scottsville - from there thence to Warren County, Tennessee to White County Tennessee where he now lives.

4. When called into the service he volunteered.

5. He has no acquaintance with any of the regular officers - except He knew the Commanders in Chief.

6. He never received a regular discharge having been taken home from the field of Guilford badly wounded.

7 He refers to the following persons to whom he is known in this present neighborhood to whom he is known in his present neighborhood and who can testify as to his character for Veracity and their belief of his services as a soldier of the revolution, there being no minister of the Gospel within his reach.
