Bio

Mrs. Clement Hooper Dead Rebecca M. Metzger, wife of Clement Hooper, daughter of Daniel Metzger and sister of Charles B. and Miss Linda Metzger, died Sunday, May 15, aged 48 years, 11 months, and 3 days, at her home, 31 Madison Street. Mrs. Hooper died of a complication of lung and heart troubles, though her death came suddenly. She was married to Mr. Hooper in 1869, at the Metzger Homestead, now occupied by Wm. Stoddart, they removing soon after to Philadelphia, where here husband was actively engaged as a contractor. His health breaking down, they removed to Wilkes-Barre. Deceased was an active member of Memorial Presbyterian Church and a worker in the Sunday School. She was educated at Wyoming Seminary, graduating therefrom in 1854. From that time until her marriage, 15 years later, she taught school, and there are hundreds of persons in Wilkes-Barre now grown up and married, who received their first education at her hands. Like her mother, she was fond of going about doing good, and was a welcome visitant in the sick rooms of such of her acquaintances as needed her kindly ministrations. She was one of earth's noblest women, and there will be many an aching heart upon hearing of her demise. Besides her father and husband, five children are left to sorrow for a loving and indulgent mother--Cynthia, William, Carrie, Mary, Juliet. The funeral took place Tuesday at 4 o'clock. Interment in the family plot in Hollenback Cemetery. Source: The Historical Record, Volume 1--September 1886 to August 1887
