Wilburn Hooker

Edwin Wilburn Hooker Sr. (July 17, 1913 – July 10, 1989) was an American farmer, cattleman, and businessman who served as a state legislator in Mississippi. Served in the Mississippi House of Representatives from 1956 to 1964. He represented Holmes County, Mississippi in the Mississippi Senate.

He served on the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, a state agency established to preserve segregation. A staunch segregationist, he pushed a 1954 bill to rescind Mississippi's offer of land for a new Veterans Administration Hospital because it would be integrated. He also took issue with book purchases by the University of Mississippi.

In the 1960s, he lived at 103 Wall Street, Lexington, Mississippi. Hooker was a member of the Freemasons, the Shriners, and belonged to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).
