Hello, Thomas Hale Hooker and Lela Adaline Babcock Hooker are my direct line. His brothers were Chas J. which is really Joseph Charles Hooker and Paul Lester Hooker. City directories are a valuable tool but often have a lot of mistakes. If you are looking for information on Fred for around the 1925 time period I would suggest finding him on the 1925 census, for it will give his parents names.

I have Frderick S., but must be the same man. Any other details, age, married Ect. in the directory? The directory will list the name of spouse, if married, but no children usually. I checked other records for the names you sent and find the following: 1926 Directory: Hooker, Chas. J., laborer, home at 1317 Avenue J Hooker, Fred C., grocer, 1506 High St., home at 211 15th Avenue Hooker, Thos, laborer, home 1317 Avenue J 1931 Directory: Hooker, Paul L. and Marie, helper at Stephen Bros., home 1510 Second Ave. 1942 Directory: Hooker, Paul L. and Marie A., engineer, Jennie Edmundson Hosp., home 1609 Ave K Hooker, Thos. H., and Lela A., sheetmetal worker, Union Pacific RR, home 215 4th I hope this helps you.
