Jumping around a bit in the story of Sanford A. Hooper... here is his obituary from the Belle Plaine Herald on 28 January 1891. Click on the photo for a readable image. Sanford died at the age of 78. He was pre-deceased by his wife and son John Young Hooper.I especially like this part of the obituary: No person ever came to him for advice or assistance unaided. His home was the seat of a large hearted hospitality and the sick found in him a friend whose time and means were always at his disposal. After a residence in this village of over thirty years there could not be found one descending voice to this opinion.
I've been told that he was buried in the cemetery at the Episcopal Church in Belle Plaine.
