PAUL GRANVILLE HOOPER, junior member of the law firm of Heller & Hooper, of Decatur, is a native of Adams County, Indiana, born in Root Township, November 24, 1857, the only son of Ezekiel and Almira H. (Gosline) Hooper. His father was a native of Maryland, born of English parents in 1790. He was reared a farmer, which avocation he followed through life. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. He came to the part of Allen County that is now a part of Adams County in 1834, and settled in Root Township, where he entered a tract of Government land, which he improved from its wild state, living here until his death in 1871 at the advanced age of eighty-one years. As one of the pioneers who took part in organizing Adams County in 1842 he was commissioned one of the associate judges of the Common Pleas Court of the county. In politics he was originally a Whig, but later affiliated with the Republican party. For many years he was a member of the Monmouth Episcopal Methodist church, and a liberal contributor of his means to all worthy enterprises.
The mother of our subject was of Athens County, Ohio, and of French origin, and was reared in her native county near Albany. She was first married to Townsend G. Bobo, who died at Crown Point, Indiana, in 1853. His widow came to Adams County the same year, where she married Mr. Hooper in 1857. She is still living, making her home in Decatur. Paul Hooper, whose name heads this sketch, received a fair education in his youth at the schools of Monmouth and Decatur, and at the age of fifteen began teaching in the district schools of Adams County.
At the age of nineteen years he began reading law in the office of his half-brother, Hon. James R. Bobo, of Decatur. In 1879 he was admitted to the bar at Decatur, and during the same year he was one of the proprietors and editors of the Adams County Union, an independent paper published at Decatur. December 25, 1879, he was married at Hoagland, Indiana, to Charity E. Harrod, a daughter of Morgan and Samantha (Beem) Harrod. She was born and reared in Allen County, Indiana, and educated at the Methodist Episcopal College at Fort Wayne. She is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
After severing his connection with the Union Mr. Hooper formed a partnership with John T. France, of Decatur, with whom he was associated in the practice of law until 1881, when retiring from the firm he became associated with D. D. Heller, thus forming the present law firm of Heller & Hooper. In politics Mr. Hooper is a Republican. He is a member of Kekionga Lodge,
No. 65, K. of P., of Decatur.
