Richard Brooks Hooper who was a Sergeant in the Rev. That message
said he was buried in the Kesler cemetery which is on the border line
between Banks and Franklin County.
A Rev. Bronze marker was installed there and stayed there marking the
location for many years then it just disappeared. The Bronze marker is no
longer on the side of the road by Kesler cemetery.
What happened to it?????
I am of the opinion that he was never buried there in the first place and
that the authorities when they realized that removed the marker. But I
cannot find anyone who knows tha answer to this question. Does any one
reading this have an idea.

My belief is that someone told these same authorities that Adenia MILLER's
husband was buried there in that cemetery and they put up the marker to her
second husband R. B. Hooper when in fact it was her first husband James
MILLER who is buried there. 

Why do I think this; because HOOPER had no ties
to that land, he never lived there, he was simply a means to an end for that
land was owned by James MILLER and when he died an uproar grew out of the
mismanagement and waste of his estate by Adenia and the courts were about to
take away the land when Adenia ran out and married HOOPER who was a sort of
lawyer and could help her retain the land instead of the courts taking it
away from her [as the Administrator] of the estate.
She and HOOPER left the area immediately and both of them died in Habersham
county and I believe that HOOPER and Adenia are buried there. It does not
make sense to me for the survivors of HOOPER all of whom lived in Habersham
to bring his body back and bury it in a location to which he had no ties
whatsoever.
