Miss Lennie Hooper, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. John
Hooper, died about 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, Jan.
the 8th at the age of 18 years, 7 months and 28 days.
She is survived by her father and mother, five
sisters, Misses Berdie, Maud and Jessie Hooper and
Mrs. Nellie Quinn and Cinda McNutt and three brothers,
Robert, Cleve and John Hooper.
Miss Hooper had been in poor health for the past
eighteen months and almost confined to her room for
the past year. During her illness, she was at all
times patient and in good spirits. By her death, many
hearts were made sad and especially in the home
circle, life will never be quite the same. Those who
were nearest her will long for her companionship and
always smiling face. She professed the Christianfaith
about two months before her death, stating that she
was prepared and ready, at any time, to meet God. Her
death was not only a loss to the immediate family but
to the entire community in which she lived.
Funeral services were held at the Bear Creek Church,
Wednesday, January 10th, 1911, being conducted by the
pastor, J. A. Brown. Interment was made at the Bear
Creek cemetery. Besides her relatives, she had
friends, who crowded the church to pay thelast tribute
of respect to the one who had lived in their midst and
whom they had known and loved so well.
Asleep in Jesus, Blessed sleep
From which none ever wake to weep.
