I too had family living in Hewitt. It is no longer there. There is also a Hewitt Cemetery in Wilson. The whole area was oilfield until the boom busted in the early 1980s. During the time your ancestor was there, the whole area had exploded with oil, there were towns springing up overnight. The oilfield was quite dangerous and ruggged during those days. Many men lost their lives, other's lost body parts.
