Notes on Wooten Cemetery

  Typical of burial sites chosen by early Texas Hill Country pioneers, 
Wooten Cemetery was established by April 1880 when one-year old Cornelius
Clay JACKSON was buried.  His headstone is the earliest grave marker in 
the cemetery.  His mother, P. Jane JACKSON, died in 1881 and is interred 
nearby.  Other notable graves include a family group believed to be 
tuberculosis victims.  The plot of the ALLSUP family is also prominent, 
as is the grave of Civil War veteran Simon Lee WOOTEN (1830-1896) for 
whom the cemetery is named, who came from Georgia upon the death of the 
Old South.
  Located 10.5 miles SW of Junction on US 377.
