Hooker Cemetery

Hooker Cemetery is located in Pulaski County, MO., in the old town of Hooker, Missouri. The cemetery is located on the original alignment of Route 66. At one time, Hooker was also known as Basket Town, due to the families that weaved baskets and sold their wares to tourist as they traveled "The Mother Road". This road was also known as State Route 14 at one time, and is now known as Trophy Lane. It is off of the 4 lane alignment of Route 66 between J Highway and Devil’s Elbow, Missouri.

Hooker Cemetery is a medium sized cemetery for this area and the earliest stone dates to 1891 and belongs to J.T. Plake. There are only a handful of stones that date before 1900, and one for Gustav Wieners that died “late 1800”.

Hogan Cemetery

Hogan Cemetery is located in Pulaski County, MO., in Buckhorn, Missouri, behind the building known as Witmor Farms.

Hogan Cemetery is a very small graveyard with only one tombstone remaining. There are 7 unmarked graves. The graves were marked with stones until the late 1970’s, early 80’s when the graveyard was vandalized. The stone that remains belongs to N.J. Hogan, born 26 July 1822, died 7 May 1888.

UPDATE: Tony Hale, a great grandson of William T and N.J Hogan replaced tombstones in early 1985. The majority of stones have been replaced with concrete markers with the initials HC scratched into them. This cemetery is abandoned and forgotten and needs a little TLC to bring it back into shape. There are several logging roads nearby and it is evident that many trees have been cleared. The logging team has taken care to not down trees on the stones, but many limbs have fallen into the graveyard itself. Surrounding landowners are VERY watchful of this property and hope to see it cleaned back up. APR 20, 2010

One of the older stones belongs to William Reed Miller who was shot and killed by his father-in-law, William Andrew Jackson, June 20, 1887.
