Gro. W. Hooper 
George W. Hooper, one of Man- 
chester’s best known business men, 
died suddenly on Christmas day of 
heart failure. 
Mr. Hooper was about yesterday 
as usual, working at his grocery store 
in the forenoon and in the afternoon 
he took his customary afternoon 
drive with Mrs. Hooper. He _ re- 
turned about five o'clock and when 
he did not come into his home within 
reasonable time Mrs. Hooper and 
son Georgt went to the barn to find 
him. He was on the floor dead. The 
medical examiner pronounced death 
due to heart failure. His untimely 
death was all the more of a surprise 
to his family and many friends from 
the fact that he had never known a 
sick day and had never complained 
of heart trouble. 
Mr Hooper was born in Manches- 
ter Dec. 9, 1855, of William and 
Sally (Colby) Hooper, in the house 
on Washington street where he had 
always made his home. He was one 
of a family of seven brothers and two 
sisters, all but one of whom have 
passed away. Edward Hooper of 
Manchester Cove is the only survivor
