SYLVESTER HOOPER
The funeral of Sylvester Hooper, Widower of the late Bessie

was held Aug. 1, 1996 at the Sea View Full Gospel Church, Back Bay.
The Church Bell was tolled in honor and remembrances of Dad at the beginning
of the service as he performed the duties of church bellringer and senior
usher. Rev. Gordon Cooke opened in prayer, followed by Mrs. Betty
McCarty singing Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet.
The eulogy was given by Rev. Donald McCarty, mentioning the change Christ
made in Dad's life and how rich in God Dad and Mom's last 20 years of marriage
was. He also spoke about how much they enjoyed attending church
together and sharing the word of God. The scripture of Psalms 23
was recited by the congregation. Rev. Donald McCarty led in prayer
for the family at this time. Following this Mrs. Betty McCarty
rendered her second piece, Silver Saints, a favorite of Dad's. By
request of Harvey, two pieces, Beyond the Sunset and I Dreamed
About Mamma Last Night were played, which was fitting as it was only
eight days since Mom's funeral. The message was given by Rev.Gordon Cooke,
mentioning the heritage we have in God and following in His path. Harvey,
Charles, Paul, Kenny, Phillip and Rodney honored Dad by performing the
service of pallbearers. Interment took place in the St. George Rural

wish we could go together." We praise God that He saw fit to
honor that prayer and desire, as we know the grave is not the end and we
shall see them once again. We do not mourn as those that have
no hope. PSALMS 42:1

Back Bay woman murdered in Ont.
by Barb Rayner-Staff Writer
Back Bay-A former Back
Bay woman who was stabbed in her apartment in Hamilton, Ontario later died in
hospital and her estranged husband has been charged with first degree
murder.Media relations with the Hamilton Police, Sgt. David Smethurst, said that
at 8:15pm on Oct. 8 the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police were called to an
apartment complex in the city and found 37-year-old Janice Wright collapsed on
the front steps of the building suffering from several stab wounds. She was
taken to the Henderson General Hospital where she died shortly after. When
police went into the apartment, he said, they found 30- year- old John Ince of
Hamilton who had been stabbed at least once in the chest and was pronounced dead
at the scene. Several neighbours reported hearing and seeing some of these
events, said Sgt. Smethurst, and a man was chased away from the scene by some of
them. At 10:45pm that same day police went to a North End Hamilton home where
they arrested Wright's estranged husband, Willis Walter Wright, 38, of Hamilton.
It would appear, said Sgt. Smethurst, that Wright forced his way into the
apartment and two of Mrs. Wright's sons aged eleven and six fled with no
apparent physical injuries. Wright has been charged with two counts of first
degree murder. He appeared in court on October 9 and has been remanded in
custody.Sgt. smethurst said no date has been set yet for the preliminary
hearing. He said that prior to his arrest Wright had been before the courts on a
charge of assaulting his estranged wirfe and on the conditions under which he
was released on bail was that he not communicate with his wife. Sgt. Smethurst
said that on Oct. 9 police went back to search for the murder weapon but as of
Friday nothing had been found and they are asking for assistance in locating it.
