DEATH OF ROBERT H. HOOE
After Many Years of Usefulness He Laid Down Life's Burdens Sunday Night.
Mr. Robert Howson Hooe, after several months illness of a complication of diseases, died in his home near New Baltimore, Fauquier county, Sunday [April 27, 1913] night, in the seventy seventh year of his age. The funeral took place from the home Wednesday morning at10 o'clock, Rev V. H. Councill, of the Baptist Church of New Baltimore officiating,and interment was in the family lot in the Manassas cemetery, at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
The pall-bearers, honorary, were: Messrs. Westwood Hutchison. J. P. Manuel, Geo.W. Johnson, H. F. Lynn,W. Whorton and Capt. Jas. E. Herrell, of EwellCamp, C. V., and the active pall-bearers, all of whom were sons and other near relatives, were:Messrs. John M., Robert V., Daniel P. and Howson B.Hooe, Thomas S. Meredithand Dr. J. Cabell Meredith.
The deceased is survived by three sons: John M. Hooe, Deputy sheriff for Prince William county, and Robert V. Hooe and Daniel P. Hooe, of near new Baltimore, and by four sisters: Mrs.Whitfield Nutt and Mrs. B. F. Iden, of Manassas, and Mrs. Thos. J.Smith and Mrs.W. G. Iden, of Washington,and by two brothers: Messrs.Howson Hooe, of near Nokesville, and Peter Hooe, of Buckingham county,
this State. Besides his efficient services as Commissioner of the Revenue for Prince William county for a number of years,Mr.Hooe filled many other offices of public trust with marked ability, untiring energy and courtesy. His uniform kindness and personal magnetism placed him in the position of a most formidable competitor for any office within the gift of the voters of his native
county, for everyone liked, and spoke in the highest commendation of "Bob" Hooe.
The Manassas Chapter,U. D. C., and Ewell Camp, Confederate Veterans, attended the obsequies in a body, and among the floral tributes laid upon the grave was a handsome wreath of Magnolia leaves, tied with ribbons of the Confederate colorsthe tribute adopted by the Virginia Division
of the U. D. C.was tenderly placed thereon by the hands of Mrs. A. W. Sinclair, president of the Manassas Chapter of the first named society.
When Company A, (Ewell Guards)commanded by Capt. J. B. Norville, was organized in Brentsville, in June, 1861, Mr.Hooe joined that company as a private for one year, at the expiration of which time he re-enlisted at Yorktown in the spring of 1862 for the remainder of the war and served with distinction in many bloody conflicts until he lost his left arm in the second battle of Cold Harbor,where
his company lost heavily in killed and wounded, on May 30, 1864.
After spending three months in Winder hospital, in Richmond, he was detailed as Quartermaster-Sergeant of his regiment, serving in that capacity until honorably discharged for disability, February 1, 1865. When
his company went to the front it was assigned to the "bloody" 49th Virginia regiment, Pergram's Brigade and "Stonewall" Jackson's Corps. Besides numerous minor engagement she participated in the famous battles of First and Second Manassas, Williamsburg, Seven days-fight
around Richmond, Cedar Mountain, Antietam and Sharpsburg, the bloody engagement at Marye's Heights at Fredericksburg and the bloody conflict at Cold Harbor.
Soon after the close of the war Mr.Hooe married Miss Bettie Meredith, one of Prince William's most accomplished and popular young ladies,who was a daughter of the late Thos. S. Meredith and a sister of the late Congressman E. E.Meredith and of Dr. J. Cabell Meredith, of Manassas, Thos. S. Meredith, of near Gainesville, and Richard Meredith, of Texas.
In the death of R.H.Hooe his sons have lost a kind, sympathetic and indulgent father, whose counsel was their guide; the community in which he resided a warm-hearted and faithful friend and neighbor, and the county a useful citizen who was alive to every important issue affecting public interest for weal or for woe. When the large concourse of admiring friends and relatives stood, with
bared heads, around the open sepulcher and saw all that was mortal of their faithful friend and companion lowered to its last resting place, the thought was uppermost in the minds of all that a good man had gone to his last reward. May he rest in peace.
