Biography
Evening Post 19 January 1917
HOOPER.- In loving memory of our dear mother, Eliza Jane Hooper, who departed this life on the 19th January, 1916.
A light has from our household gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our hearts
That never can be filled.
Inserted by her daughters, Nellie and Myrtle, and son George.
