My Aunt, Ethel Parker Hooper, died in Sacramento, CA on March 30 at age
108 (would have been 109 on July 29).  She was a GGGgranddaughter of
Absalom Hooper.  She was born in Tuckasegee, Jackson Co., NC on July 29,
1899.  She and my mother were first cousins and she married my father's
brother.  Her husband died in 1935 at age 38 leaving her with 4 small
children.  She never remarried.  In the 1940s she moved to Washington
where many members of her family had gone.  Some of her ashes will be
returned and buried beside her husband in Tuckasegee later this summer.
Her oldest surviving child is 84.  I last saw her at age 102  in August,
2001 when she came to our family reunion in Tuckasegee and was still
quite spry.
 
She is the longest lived descendant of Absalom of whom I am aware.  Does
anyone know of any Absalom descendant living longer?
