Hooks Cemetery in Hardin County, near Kountze, TX.  On the left side, as we entered the gate, there are some Roberts family members buried, and others are buried on the right side and some near the center back part.  We did not see all the graves inside the fence, because it was getting late, and did not visit the ones behind the back fence.  Also, many plots were essentially unmarked, with just concrete and stone posts at the head and/or foot of many graves.  Some markers were not readable, but we will take water and a brush next time we visit, so we may be able to make out the inscriptions on the older graves.  These we copied:

1.  Large stone, engraved:  Roberts--large area surrounded by a border, room for many graves; a large stone with the surname, but no other names or dates.
2.  A large stone bearing the name SALTER at the top, and on the left, John Knight, Jr., Sept. 18, 1908 and Jan. 10, 1999; married Dec. 8, 1933, Wynette Roberts, Sept. 30, 1912, and no other date, so she apparently is still living, or is buried elsewhere, or the marker has not been engraved yet.
3.  A double stone, engraved Harold Lee Golden, 1912-1991, and Madge Roberts, 1910-2001.
4.  A large stone engraved ROBERTS, with several double stones:  Elizabeth S. Roberts, Oct. 21, 1911, Feb. 12, 1937, and L. G. [sic], 12-    -1989 and 11-2-1998.
5.  Double stone:  Charley, 1885-1973 and Louvenia, 1889-1957.
6.  Double stone:  Joy (or Jay), 1-11-1915 and 7-5-1979, and Louisa, 5-22-1919 and 1-18-1996.
7.  Double stone engraved POOLE at the top, and John B., 1877-1960, and Amanda P., 1881-1966.
8.  Double stone:  S. H. (Bill) Williams, 11-24-1904 and 2-11-1975, and Esther (McDonald) Williams, 3-18-1908 and 2-3-1981.
