"Joseph and Seth Hooper settled on farms above [Daniel] Hills'. Joseph Hooper was a chair-maker and a house-painter. Many of the old village buildings were indebted to his paint-brush for the new dress of paint. He left his property to his son Alva, who lived on the farm some years after his father's death and finally sold the farm to Thomas Beatty, whose heirs are now the occupants. (Now owned by C. A. Pope.) Seth Hooper was a blacksmith. On his decease his farm passed into the hands of strangers. Robert Jeffrey is now its owner and lives on it, and by his practical farming operations has greatly increased its value. (Now owned by O. F. Matterson.)."
