Clarence Booker, Execution Number 120
Prisoners who were executed have an "X" or "EX" and the execution number on their headstone, and not much else.
But there is a list of those who have been executed with bare bones stats. According to the list, Clarence Booker was born in Travis County in 1908. He was convicted of murder, and was the 120th person put to death in Huntsville on December 29, 1933.
He was buried beneath this rough concrete headstone that was made by inmates who would have known him. The grave would have been dug, and the casket buried by a burial detail of inmates, probably supervised by armed guards on horseback.
