Church at Gettysburg Dies

Gettysburg, Pa, Dec. 13. - The
Rev. William b. Hooper, for eight
of the Prince of Peace, died at the

Vile, Virginia, aged about IS years.
Mr.. Hooper's health had been fail
ing for some time and several weeks
ago, while in Philadelphia, he was
struck by an automobile and slight
ly hurt. His age and the condition
of his health made the shock more
severe than would ordinarily have
been the case and he grew grad

louisville in the hope that the change
would benefit him, but he developed
pneumonia and it resulted in his
death.
