A petition asking that Hooper be appointed postmaster of the proposed new post and telegraph office.

     William died of acute bronchitis (5 days) on 8 May 1906 in Deniliquin, New South Wales, aged 71. In his obituary published 12 May 1906 [paper not quoted]: Born London 1834, 72 years of age. First arrived at Deniliquin 1863, when he was first employed by J N Alexander, later Mort & Watson's store. Alexander had applied for the Post Office, but Hooper was appointed the Post Master for some unknown reason. He was employed by Mort & Watson as accountant for some 30 years. During this time he was treasurer of the hospital, later with the Deniliquin & Moama Railway Company and the Riverina Brewery Company. Also held some position with Deniliquin Municipal Council. Was a widower with four sons. In June 1892 he left Mort & Watson, after 29 years, and started as accountant on his own next to Sinclair's Coffee Palace, later the Australian Club Hotel (was Tattersalls when demolished in 1963).
     The Pastoral times newspaper of 12 May reported: William Henry Hooper: After an illness of only a few days' duration a very old and respected townsman, Mr. William Henry Hooper, passed away on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Hooper, though not looking well, at the end of last week completed, with Mr R H Turnbull, the audit of the Municipal Council's books, and on Saturday became ill with an attack of bronchitis. He suffered acutely for the next three days, and succumbed to the attack on Tuesday afternoon. The fact that he was seriously ill was not known to many of his friends, so that the announcement of his death was quite unexpected.
The late Mr. Hooper was born in London in 1834, so that at the time of his death he was 72 years of age. He left England for Victoria at the time of the early gold rushes in the adjoining State, and he first arrived in Deniliquin about 1863. From that date until his death - a period of 43 years - he was a resident of the town. Like the majority of those who may be rightly termed pioneers of the town, Mr. Hooper was one who took an active interest in the welfare of Deniliquin and district, and for many years he was an energetic worker in connection with local public bodies, chief among which may be mentioned his services on behalf of the Hospital. He was a member of the committee for a number of years, he fulfilled the duties of president for a term, and he acted as treasurer for a long period. His advance in years caused his retirement from active participation in public work several years ago.
For a period of over 30 years Mr. Hooper was with the firm of Mort and Watson as accountant, and in later years after leaving the firm his services as auditor were availed on by the Deniliquin and Moama Railway Co., the Riverina Brewery Co. and the Municipal Council, while in an honorary capacity he acted as auditor for several local bodies. He was held in high esteem by a very large circle of friends, and his death has removed a familiar figure in the community, and one very closer associated with the everyday affairs of the town.

Mr Arthur Hooper manager of the wool department of Goldsbrough, Mort and Co., Melbourne; Charles Hooper, of Brawarrina; Mr Sidney Hooper, Union Bank inspector; Murray Hooper, teller at the Bank of New South Wales, Ararat, and Mrs J Jeremy of Wagga.
