     John died on 8 November 1917 in Castle St, Dunedin, New Zealand, aged 91. Nellie was the executor of his will. The Evening star reported on 9 Nov 1917: Mr John Rossi Hooper, of Castle Street, a widely known and respected resident of the City, died yesterday afternoon, aged 91 years. His death was easy,- and represented a ripe finish to a strenuous life. It is given to few men to reach so wide a span of marvellous years, and fewer, still gain the varied and adventurous experiences that fell to him in many lands. A Londoner by birth, he became a wise cosmopolitan by wide travel and ever-changing conditions. It was not surprising that he was by choice, if not by instinct, a roamer; his folk in the far-off days sent ships out of London into all the seas. Mr Hooper was born in London in 1826, when George IV. was King and Canning Premier, and lived under five Sovereigns —George IV., William lV., Victoria, Edward VII., and George V. He was at school when Sir Walter Scott was so valiantly writing to retrieve the ruin of his publisher. As a youth the late Mr Hooper gained business training in the office of his father, senior partner in the firm of Willis, Gunn, and Co., who ran the first ships out to New Zealand, these really forming the nucleus of the Shaw-Savill and Albion Company's line. At 22 years of age he accompanied his elder brother to Mexico, and there engaged in mining operations. The gold fever was then felt in many lands, and men who loved adventure roamed the world, and found more of it than of gold. In 1860 Mr Hooper rnturned from Mexico in the London packet, the Margaret Evans. A little later he sailed for New Zealand on the Duke of Portland, which arrived at Lyttelton in September1851. He thus missed the opening of the first "Great Exhibition" by Prince Albert, the Queen's Consort. The same year the first shipment of Australian gold arrived in London, and soent the fame of Australia into many lands. Bendigo was the El Dorado of the diggers, and Mr Hooper went over to try his luck, journeying from Auckland to Sydney in a schooner of 75 tons, thence to Melbourne in the new brig Thomas and Henry (now a coal hulk at Port Chalmers). He was present at the Eureka Stockade. He was a gold buyer for a time at the Ovens diggings. Later he joined his brother at Shanghai. While in China ho saw the sacking of tho Summer Palace at Peking bv the French, who with the British, under Sir Hope Grant, invested the capital of China and forced a surrender. About this time he married Miss Elizabeth Glover, of Melbourne, but as the climate of China did not agree with Mrs Hooper, they returned to England. A year or so ago he went to Japan, and there was under arms during the rising against foreigners, but did not participate in any fighting. A few months sfter he returned to England, thence left for New Zealand, arriving by the Haddon Hall at Dunedin in September, 1874, the voyage occupying nine months. From then till his death he made Dunedin his home, carrying on business for many years as a Custom-house agent. He was secretary to mining companies during tho dredging boom. His wife died six years ago. He leaves his only son, Mr W. L. Hooper, of Dunedin, and three daughters—Miss Hooper, Mrs Fox (England), and Mrs W. Nesbit. For 30 years the deceased kept a diary, in which there were many references to wars and rebellions in many lands. It is interesting to note that in his day and. generation he saw history being made in the Afghan war, with the forcing of the Kyber Pass, the Crimean war with its battles of Alma, Balaclava, and Inkerman the Indian Mutiny, the South American war, the seven weeks' war between Austria nnd Prussia, the Franco-Prussian war, the second Afghan war, the Zulu war, the Russian war, the first Transvaal war. the Egyptian war, the Korean war, the GrecoTurkish war, South African war. the Russo-Japanese war, and last of all the present war of all the continents, besides which all the wars of close on a century were trivia.l A stirring life. .
     His will was proved on 16 November 1917 at New Zealand.

      He was author of 'Simon Suggs' and other humorous works, and Secretary to the Confederate Provisional Congress.
Johnson Jones Hooper, cont. The marriage was a happy one, and Hooper became a fast friend and political supporter of his father-in-law, who, like himself, was a member of the Whig party.
With the collapse of the Whigs and the approach of war, Hooper supported the Know-Nothing or American party, and then turned to the Democratic party where he took a firm stand for Southern rights. In his new political affiliation he was an admirer of William Lowndes Yancey, and, like Yancey, an advocate of immediate secession. In 1861 Hooper was living in Montgomery, where he was owner and editor of the Montgomery Mail, when the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States of America was convened in that city, he was elected its permanent secretary by acclamation. He soon sold his interest in the Mail, and in May 1861, with his wife and younger son, moved to Richmond, Va., with the new government. In 1862, as a result of governmental reorganization, Hooper lost his position as secretary of the Congress, but through the influence of Howell Cobb was appointed editor of the proceedings of the Provisional Congress and the constitution of the Confederate States of America.
As Richmond began to feel the effects of war, Mrs. Hooper and Adolphus returned to Montgomery, and Hooper, who had been an Episcopalian but never an ardent churchman, joined the Roman Catholic church. The war, overwork, and illness soon took their toll. He died, probably of tuberculosis, and was buried in Richmond's Shockhoe Hill Cemetery. For almost a century his grave went unmarked, and then, late in 1950, eleven men, "all ardent admirers of one of America's greatest humorists," contributed the funds to erect a suitable monument. A portrait of Hooper hangs in the Alabama Department of Archives and History in Montgomery.
