Many persons living on the North 
Shore will feel a deep sense of loss 
in the death of James D. Hooper 
of Beverly Farms, who died me 
week as the result ‘of a fall from 2 
building. All who came much in 
contact with him, early saw that he 
was a man who liked his work as a 
carpenter and builder and took 
pride in it. He was himself an un- 
usually skilled craftsman, and word 
were the exquisite pieces of work 
which came from his hand. His 
generosity and kind heart, his genial — 
temperament, and his keen sense of 
humor won him many friends, and 
he was warmly loved for ‘these 4 
traits; but it will be for his manly, 
upright character that he is remem- — 
bered and mourned.
