John Thomas Hooker, son of J.B. and Margaret Hooker, was born December 20, 1861, in Sullivan County, near what was known as the North Hooker School.
He grew to manhood in this vicinity and in 1886 was united in marriage to Hattie M. Gable, and to this union were born three children, Orvil (sic) E., Marjorie M., amd Glen V.(sic) Hooker.
Most of his life was spent on a farm 3 1/2 miles west of Browning, although for a short while he lived in Humphreys and later in West Plains.
During his younger days he was a builder of homes, having built many of the homes in this community but later confined his activities to farming. He later retired and moved to Browning.
