The Hooper and Nichols Family Photo
The large family photo in the group of photos is believed to have been labeled by Winifred Louise Hooper with those labeled being:
Back row:
– “Aunt Nannie” (Nancy Elizabeth Hooper Phillips, sister of John H. Hooper)
– “Uncle Bob” (Robert Lee Nichols, brother of Bash Nichols Hooper)
– “Uncle Jim” (James T. Hooper, brother of John H. Hooper)
Middle row:
– Unlabeled: Believed to be Winifred Louise Hooper, owner of photo, daughter of John & Bash Hooper
– “Florence” (Florence May Hooper, sister of John H. Hooper)
– Unknown person, possibly Winifred’s sister, Wilma
– “Aunt Mary” (Mary Elizabeth Sealock Hooper, wife of James T. Hooper)
From row:
– “Mama” (Basheba “Bash” Kathryn Nichols Hooper, Winifred’s mother)
– “Aunt Pet” (Laura Pet Nichols Witten, sister of Bash Nichols Hooper)
