Died at his residence near Pickensville, Ala. on the 31st ultimo OBADIAH HOOPER SR in the 84th year of his age. MR. HOOPER was born in Lunenburg County, Virginia on the 25th day of December, 1755 where he resided until the outbreak of that glorious struggle which gave us our independence. He early engaged in that struggle and was a regular soldier until the close of the war. He heard the Declaration of Independence when first read by the immortal JEFFERSON. He fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill. He was also at Trenton and was one of those who gave a new impulse to the cause of freedom by gaining that important battle. He was one of those who crossed the Delaware under the godlike eye of the immortal WASHINGTON to attack the British and Hessians at Princeton. Here, he has often been heard to say. the blood marked the ground as it trickled from his shoeless feet. He was at the storming of Stony Point; he was at GATES' defeat and had charge of the ammunition wagons on that occasion, but blew them up in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the British. He was at the memorable Siege and Battle of Yorktown and had the honor of seeing CORNWALLIS surrender his sword. He was likewise at the Battle of Brandywine and was wounded twice in that engagement, once from a musket ball and once from the stab of a bayonet, and there is no doubt but that the wound received on that occasion hastened somewhat his death even at this remote period...has left an affectionate wife and a large number of children and grandchildren (South Alabamian).
