in Jefferson County, New York and died October 19, 1908 in Tama County, Iowa

built a log cabin which was to be their home for over half a century.

valuable historical information. He was present at the laying of the corner
stone of the first State Capitol in Iowa City. He was a direct descendant of
Stephen Hopkins who came to America on the Mayflower.
