1918 Family Residence

World War I Draft Records show that John Young Hooper & family lived at 3119 N. 58th Benson, Nebraska. Benson is now part of Omaha, and this house, at 3119 N 58th St., Omaha, was built in 1910. So I think its a good guess that this is the house where John lived with his wife Edna and daughter Alice during the 1910s.

This house is currently on the market, priced at $119,000. I'd love to buy it!

5:00 p.m., December 25, 1905

Here is one of the photos from Brittny. I love this picture!

"Xmas at John's" refers, I believe to John Young Hooper Jr. and his home in Omaha Nebraska. My grandmother Elizabeth Alice Hooper, who was born in June 1904, is-- I believe-- the "AH" in the photo and appears to be a toddler; hence the 1905 date.

Upper row left to right: (N.H.) Nellie Hooper, (F.H.) Frank Lee Harris Hooper, (G.H.) Gertrude Hooper, unknown, (E.H.) Edna Eddy Hooper. Next (middle) row: unknown, (ma) Helen Baldwin Hooper, (AH) Alice Hooper, (FC?) unknown, (MH?) Myrl Hooper. Lady at bottom is unknown, but I believe the child in her lap (LH) is Lester Hooper.

This is the only photo I have ever seen of my grandmother with her family!

Note the clock in the back... shows the time as 5:00.

I believe this may be the only photo my family has of John Young Hooper (1879 - 1942). Here he sits next to his standing daughter, my grandmother, Alice Hooper Chapman (1904 - 1970), in a photograph probably taken in the 1920s, probably taken in the Chicago area. Click photo for enlarged view. Don't you love her outfit?
