The
guy on extreme left in white shirt and dark pants is Cort
Hooper,
(Cort Hooper; Samuel N. Hooper; Enos Greenlee Hooper; Isaac
Hooper, Absolem Hooper).
The
older lady, fourth person from extreme right is Dora Seay
HOOPER Sorrells,
the wife of Samuel N. Hooper (she married Sorrells after the
death of Sam Hooper.
The
lady to the right of Dora with her head tilted
to the right is Effie Hooper Rice,
daughter of Samuel N. Hooper.
The
man fifth from the left, wearing a suit and tie is Charlie
Rice,
son of Thomas Jasper Rice and Mary Minara HOOPER, from the
Obediah Hooper family.
Charlie was the husband of Effie HOOPER from Absolem Hooper
line as mentioned above.
This
picture was taken in the Hiawassee Georgia or maybe the
Shooting Creek area
of Clay County, NC in the later 1940's. My guess would
be about 1948 or 1949.
Children
and
Grandchildren of Hoopers
The
guy on the front, extreme left, with the suspenders,
sweater and hands in the pockets is
my brother, Doug Rice. The guy on the front,
extreme left with the sweater and holding the hand
of a baby is my cousin, Andrew Rice. The baby is
Tommy Rice, Andrew's brother. The little
girl with blonde hair, wearing the white dress is the
sister of Andrew and Tommy Rice.
Like me, all of these Rice children are "double
Hooper", i.e. Absolem Hooper and Obadiah Hooper.
Charles
Douglas
(Charlie) Rice, Sr., wife, Effie Ellen Gertrude HOOPER Rice
and son, Charles Douglas (C.D.) Rice, Jr., my dad.
Charlie
is
son of Thomas Jasper Rice and Mary Manira Hooper - the
Obadiah Hooper line.
Effie
is
the daughter of Dora Seay Hooper and Samuel N. Hooper, from
the Absolem line.
Picture
taken about 1916
This
is the one I believe to be Sam Hooper. I am just
not certain.
If this is Sam, the
picture would probably have been taken
between 1887 and 1897.
This guy looks a lot like Cort Hooper, Effie's brother.
The picture belonged to
Effie Hooper.
