Hooper was captured on June 19, 1864 at Marietta, GA. Details of Hooper's capture were documented when a letter addressed to him reached the Berry Infantry days after he became a prisoner of war.

Hooper, 29th Reg Ga Vol, Stevens Brigade, Walkers Division, Dalton, Georgia, was initially marked to be forwarded to the Army of Tennessee Hospital in Griffin, Georgia. But when it was discovered that the addressee had been captured, it was forwarded a second time back to Okolona, MS with ‘for'd 10' added on the envelope for the forwarding fee. Lt Thomas J. Perry added a lengthy notation on the back of the envelope with the details of the capture, "Marietta, Ga June 22, 1864 The Lt was captured on the 19th inst out on skirmish. He mistook the enemy for our folks and walked right up to them and did not discover the mistake until it was too late. As soon as they saw him, they motioned him to come to them and professed to be our men…The Lt was well when captured. Thos J. Perry." Hooper was taken to Johnson Island.
