T W died from the 'Spanish Flu' that killed millions of people world wide after WW 1. Over 600,000 died in the US alone. More people died in Europe and America than those killed and wounded during the war.

Because of the flu epidemic in Lassen County the Susanville Cemeter was forced to close. I understand that there is a whole section located in the cemetery where the victims are buried.
Thomas Warren Hooper died at the Westwood hospital on Friday morning, November 8th, after several days of illness with pneumonia. Mr. Hooper came to Westwood about two years ago from Butts County, Cal. and had been employed by the Red River Lumber Company as a blacksmith, until his last illness. He was born in North Carolina forty-six years ago, and had been married fourteen years.
Besides his widow (Willie Ann 'Annie' Sugg) he leaves four small children, two girls and two boys; also his father, a sister and brother residing in North Carolina. His father, Joseph H. Hooper, and sister Leah Gail Hooper Parker reside in Gore, Oklahoma.
Mr. Hooper was highly respected and had many friends in the community. He was a member of Westwood Lodge, L.O.O.M. , and a number of the members of the order attended the funeral at Susanville on Sunday afternoon.
The remains were taken to Susanville on the train Sunday afternoon, interment being in the Susanville cemetery. Services were conducted at the grave by Rev. R. N. Rowe of the Baptist Church.
