In the Franklin Garrett Necrology Database, a database on computer in the Georgia State Archive Building, downtown Atlanta, File #0264. I found the listing for the Howell-Hook Family Cemetery located off Howell Mill Rd. just north of downtown Atlanta. The record was made May 16, 1931, (61 years after Hook's death). According to the recorder, the location of the grave is on the east side of McKinley Road, N.W. about one block from Howell Mill Road. Land Lot #153, 17th District, Fulton County, Cook's District. Taking I-75 north of downtown Atlanta, go to the second exit after I-75/I-85 connector, the Howell Mill Rd. Exit and turn right. Go about 1/4 mile and turn right on McKinley Rd. Immediately straight ahead is the location of the final resting place of Hook. The recorder explained: "No visible trace remains of this old cemetery. The graves were never permanently marked and the temporary markers have long since disappeared. The site of the cemetery was shown to the Compiler, on the above date by Miss Kate Lyon, of Howell Mill Road, a granddaughter of the original Clark Howell.
