HOOVER, OF THE KNOBS
Mr. Williams said he never knew Old Man Hoover, for whom Hoover’s
Knobs, visible in the western part of the county. That he had pretty
daughters, one of whom married Hill, a Comanche newspaper man. And they
were smart. He did not think the Hill was the older brother of the great
geologist Dr. Robert B. Hill. (Still feel he might have been). Hoover was
there very early.
(A good deal about Indian troubles around the Hoover family in Elias
Deaton’s classic book, not now in print, about Indian depredations in
this part of the state. Believe there is a small Hoover cemetery out on
the road.
