HOOTEN,Maude Latham

Maude Latham Hooten,eldest child of a third generation Texas farm 

family,died August 19,1998 at 94 years of age from complications of 

Alzheimers.Funeral sevice will be held at 10:00a.m.,Tuesday,Aug.25,at 

the Jeannette Street Church of Christ in Breckenridge with Monroe 

Teague and Lyndon Latham officiating. Burial will be in the Woodson 

Cemetery under the direction of Melton Funeral Home.Born at home April 

23,1904 in Hurst Springs,Coryell County,Texas to TOM(TJ)and LULA

BRADY LATHAM,she was the first born of nine children. Texas was her 

lifelong residence. In 1907 her family traveled by covered wagon to 

Throckmorton County. Maude remembered the always-lit latern swinging 

back and forth,night and day,in the top of the wagon to keep her baby 

brother,J.D.warm. Maude waited to start first grade until her one year 

younger sister,VELMA,could go too. Since their father wanted his 

children to be near,he dedicated part of his land for school use. It

was called Master/Pleasant Hill School and initially had one teacher 

for all grades. Her father was a "pretty firm" man.Maude's mother was 

of Irish heritage and a lot more relaxed. "Mama" was a contented 

full-time homemaker raising eight children,(and at times raising 

grandchildren)and always a hard-working farm wife her entire life. 

Maude remembered being baptized,with VELMA,in a large stock tank,when 

she was about 12. She rode in her first car at the age of 10.As young

adults,she and VELMA were sent to Gunter Bible College(North of 

Ft.Worth),where they boarded. There she met another student RICHARD 

HOOTEN,and married him in 1924. He needed and accepted a teaching 

position in a rural school and,as a new bride,she was expected to 

follow him,and she did,but as a subordinate teacher at lower pay. When 

her marriage became unworkable,she took full responsibility for her 

two pre-teen children,borrowed tuition from her parents and returned 

to Texas Tech to complete her Bachelor's degree in Home Economics 

Education and later earned a Master's degree from Texas Woman's 

University with a major in Clothing & Textiles. For over thirty-five 

years,she was an active teacher in primary education and later was a 

teacher of adult students. She taught the classes that women really 

wanted,which made for a diverse class schedule and sometimes 

necessitated her learning "just ahead of or at the same time as" her 

students. She was a very loving woman,not in the physical sense,but in 

the caring sense. Her family was the center of her life,and she did 

well by them.They and her church always came before business. A 

constant participant in the Church of Christ,she greatly enjoyed 

singing the hymns with a strong,warm rich voice. She was responsible,

tenacious,intelligent,and enormously energetic despite the ravages of 

Alzheimers.She is survived by her daughter,EXA FAY HOOTEN of Abilene;

her son,ALTON R.HOOTEN and wife MARGARET of Portland,Oregon;two 

sisters,Mrs.SYBIL WOODWARD,of Breckenridge and Mrs.NELDA DUKES of 

Allison;five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Memorials may 

be made to donor's favorite charity and may be left at Melton's 

Funeral Home.
