Elected as a Fusionist candidate, he was one of just three Republicans to hold the office from the end of Reconstruction to the last quarter of the 20th century. Hooper was born out of wedlock to Sarah Wade in Newport, Tennessee. Ben and his mother moved to Mossy Creek (modern Jefferson City) and afterwards to Knoxville, where he was placed in the St. John's Orphanage. He was eventually legally adopted by his father, and returned to Newport. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1894. Hooper served two terms in the Tennessee House of Representatives, from 1893 to 1897. During the Spanish-American War, Hooper served as captain of Company C in the 6th U.S. Volunteer Infantry, which was commanded by fellow East Tennessean, Colonel Lawrence Tyson. Died: April 18, 1957 (aged 86), Carson Springs [Cocke County], Tennessee.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_W._Hooper> |
