DEATH OF MRS. HOOFF
Mrs. Ann Amelia Hooff, aged 82, died on Tuesday [September 21, 1915] at her home in Charlestown, W. Va. Mrs. Hooff, widow of James Lawrence Hooff, had been in poor health for several months but of late had apparently improved. She failed rapidly a few days before her death which was not unexpected.
The decedent was before her marriage a Miss Beckham, daughter of Fontaine Beckham, who was mayor of Harpers Ferry during John Brown’s raid and who was killed at the time. She was well-known in Manassas where she had visited many times and her score of friends in this community were deeply distressed upon learning of her death.
Surviving Mrs. Hooff are five sons, Messrs. George B., Fontaine B. and Washington H., of Charlestown; James Law, of Altoona, Pa., and Allison A., of Manassas, and one daughter, Mrs. William H. Brown, of Manassas.
