OBITUARY..

Mr.. WIN. L. HorPocK, ST., aged 81 years
and Z months, died Feb. Goth, at tho residence
of his son-in-law, Mr.. Maurice Wolverton,
Stockton, N. J.,-his home during the past
year. BY request, the following sketch
Of his life has been prepared, which is belev-
ed to be correct so far as relates to the main
facts.
Years ago, upon the spot now occupied by
the Baptist Church of Stockton, there stood
an old tavern--what was then the Ferry Road
passed it. Here, during the residence Of his
father Mr.. Geo. Hoppock. the subject of this
sketch was born in July, 1909. Information
regarding his early life is somewhat meagre
because the memories of few run back over SO
long period as two generations and half. For
a time, his parents resided near what Is now
Sereoant's Mills, and after the death of his faith
or, he went to live with his maternal grand
father, Mr.. John Lambert, who owned the
farm now the property of Mr.. Thomas Sea-
brook, near Stocktoh.
Here he passed the days of his boyhootl, at
tending school in a log house which stood near
Sandy Ridge.
Mr.. Lambert occupied several positions in
the National and State governments and, to il.
lustrate the improvements in facilities for
travelsince that time, Mr. Hoppock used to
say that when his grandfather was a member
of the State Legislature he would take him in
a carriage to Trenton at the beginning and 60
for him ut the close OF each week.
Prompted by that taste for mercantile busi-
ness which chung to him allhis life, he went to
Philadelphia, while still young, and there
served his apprenticeship.
His first venture in business for himself
was the starting Of a store at Lumbcrville,
Pa, in partnership with tho late Mr.. Samuel
D. Stryker.
This firm was afterwards dissolved and he
became a partner with Mr.. Samuel Corlc, now
Of Ncshanic.
Here, for some years, he remained, gaining
tho respect of all by his honest, straightfor-
ward method of business, and making many
lifelong friends. While here he was married
to Miss Jane Heed, by whom he had seven
children, six of whom ars still living and hold.
ing positions of responsibility as heads Of
households; and one Of whom, Mr.. VIM. L.
Hoppock, Jr., represents the First District Of
our County in the General Assembly of the
State.
In the year 1882, he removed to this side Of
the river again, and in company with the late
Mr.. John s. Wilson, bought the farm, inclu.
ding the store and mill, belonging to the es.
tate Of Mr.. John Praull, at what is now called
Prallsville.
After about three years be became solo own,

The LycEUM.--At the last stated meeting
of the Lyceum, the question under discussion
was as follows -" Ought man who sells in
toxicating liquors as a beverage be respected
in community" The opposing parties main
tanned their sides with ability, and some good
hits were made. Mr.. VIM. Lauer was chosen
judge for the evening. His decision was in
favor of the negative side of the question.
The following question was adopted for dis
cnssion at the next meeting -" Should the
Woman's Temperance Crusade in the West
be encouraged in Lambertvillc:"
Debaters in the affirmative j. w. Scar
borough, Wilson Bray, ]. II. Black, and L.
X. Strousc. In the negative, VIM. Lyman,
E. r. Solliday, J. Hayhurst. and J. McGlau-
fin. AS this is question that interests the
people of our city, and especially the ladies', it
is to be hoped that there will be good atten-
dance.
Thu debate will commence at half-past Z
o'clock, precisely, and close ut half-past 0, P.

he disposed of it a year ago, his life had been
identified with the store. Fora large portion
of that period he carried on the business him.
self, but even when it was in the charge Of his
soma, his interest In 1t was the same.
To the last month ofhis life, few days pass
cd without finding him at his accustomed
place. though he often went slowly and feebly,
burdeusd by the weight Of increasing infrmi-
ties. 1t is not known that lie had ambition
for public place, although he held, for many
years, the Office Of Postmaster both at Linn
berville and Prallsville. He always took n
deep interest In state and national affairs. but
maintained his right Of private judgment even
though it led to opinions independent Of the
policy Of the party which lie preferred. His
life was quiet, respectable, honorable; its best
monument Is the general regard in which his
memory Is and will be held in this commune
ty and wherever he was known, as generous
friend, a kind neighbor and an upright citi-
zen. After his removal to Praiisyiile he lost
his wife in Feb. 1884, while his children were
still young, but some years after he found am
other companion and they mother in Mrs
Hannah, the widow of Mr.. Zephaniah Curry.
She, after faithful life, was taken from him
by death ID August, 1871.
At the time of the decease of Mr.. Hoppock
he was connected with the Presbyterian
Church Of Stockton, of which he had been a
member five years. During many years before
his mind had been often deeply exercised upon
the question Of his religious duty, but partly
through lack of religious privileges aud part
" through procrastination only too common,
