Looking for vital records for John F. HOOPER.
He was married to Anna Bertha WREDE (REID) b. 1888 in Cameron, Milam, Texas, and later divorced.
They had three children together:
Maude Lee, b. 24 Mar 1913 in Galveston, Galveston, Texas
Elizabeth Amelia, b. 2 Aug 1915 in De Leon, Comanche, Texas
James Grant, b. 29 July 1917 in Texas
His name has been located on his daughter's birth certificates, but no other proof of his existence has been found.

I recommend using the Wiki Guided Research for Texas at https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/GuidedResearch:Texas. Anna Rainey is listed as a widow on the 1930 census. So it can be assumed that her second husband had passed away prior to the census. Were the three children adopted by him? If not, perhaps you may want to change their birth surnames back to Hooper.

This is the first time I have ever posted a query....how did you know Anna's second husband's name? And how the children's names are listed?
I had purposely left that information off because it's another source of confusion. The children all kept their step-father's name through out life and believed they had been adopted, but we haven't been able to find anything to prove that. We also haven't been able to prove any of Anna's marriages (3). We are wondering if she just never believed in going through the proper channels...
