Well Known Beverly Farms Man 
Dies as Result of Fall From 
Roof. 
Bee ey Farms has lost one of her 
best known and most highly es- 
teemed citizens this week,—James 
D. Hooper, the weil known contrac- 
tor passing away Tuesday evening 
at the Beverly Hospital as the re- 
sult of injuries received from a fall 
from the roof of a building the 
same day. 
Three men figured in the accident, 
and two of them, Mr. Hooper and 
James Tebbetts of Beverly, were in- 
jured, while the third man, Austin 
Brigham, clung to the ridgepole of 
the Mrs. Samuel J. Foster cottage, 
where they were working, and was 
rescued by others who heard his 
eall. 
Contractor Hooper, Tebbetts and 
Brigham went to the Foster house 
to look up a reported leak in the 
roof. They had one ladder from the 
piazza roof to that of the main 
house and Mr. Hooper had gone up 
to make suggestions as to repairing 
the damage to Bridgham. Tebbetts 
was on the piazza roof steadying the 
ladder but when Mr. Hooper start- 
ed to come down, the ladder on the 
sloping and slippery roof lost its 
footing and despite what Tebbetts 
could do toppled over throwing Mr. 
Ilooper to the piazza roof and from 
there to the ground and carrying 
Tebbetts from the roof to the 
ground. Brigham, Ww ho was on the 
roof, called for help and a number 
who were passing at the time includ- 
ing Dunn’s_ expressman, Joseph 
Stanwood, Greenlaw, the electrician, 
Mr. Hooper’s driver, Harry Pickett 
and others rushed to their assist- 
ance and the injured men were tak- 
en to Mr, Hooper’s house where Dr.

W. J. Dougherty was called. 
It was seen that both men were 
severely injured and the ambulance 
was called and Mr. Hooper and Teb- 
betts were taken to the hospital. 
Mr. Hooper was seriously injured 
and was placed on the dangerous 
list, death coming just before mid- 
night. He received a number of 
fractures and internal injuries 
which together with a shock caused 
death. Tebbetts has apparently es- 
caped with a severe shaking up anid 
this morning it was said that he had 
no bones broken. 
Mr. Hooper was one of the best 
known builders at the Farms and 
conducted a successful business. He 
was 56 years of age and before go- 
ing in business for himeslf twelve 
years or so ago, he was foreman for 
the firm of I. and E. H. Ober. He 
built up a fine business and had 
many important contracts. He was 
a former member of the Farms fire 
department. He was a member of 
the Business Men’s association and 
of other organizations. He leaves 
a widow and a large’ circle of 
friends to mourn his loss. 
Mr. Hooper was born in Rockport 
where he received his early educa- 
tion and later graduated from 
French’s business college of Bos- 
ton. He came to Beverly in his 
early life and entered the employ 
of the Obers and on the dissolution 
of that firm started in business for 
himself and had worked on a great 
many of the houses on the North 
Shore. 
Although reserved by nature his 
disposition was one that endeared 
him to his many friends, and his loss 
will be a distinct one to the com- 
munity.
