      • Hs Great Number Relatives in County
      • Death Comes to Aged Pioneer From Senility - Was Born in Tennessee But Came to Oregon Many Years Ago - Husband Passed Away Quarter of Century Ago - Six Children and Many Other Descendants Survive Her
      • Mrs Sabre Hopper, Umatilla County pioneer woman, and grandmother of a host of people in this city, died at her home at Nolin at 6 o'clock this morning from the effects of Illness brought on by old age. Up to this time the exact time for her funeral has not been set, but it is understood that the burial will occur here tomorrow afternoon or on Thursday forenoon. Mrs Hopper was a native of Tennessee and was born on December 26, 1835. She was therefore more than 92 years of age at the time of her death. Her husband. Benjamin Hopper, has been dead for over 25 years.
      With her husband, Mrs Hopper crossed the plains with an ox team in '65, and the family settled at Nolin, where they have lived permanently ever since and where Mr Hopper died.
      Four sons and two daughters of the deceased are now alive and mourn her end. They are Nowell Hopper, Joshua Hopper, Bura Hopper, Thomas Hopper, Mrs. Jerry Barnhart and Mrs. M. A. Terry. Aside from the sons and daughters, the pioneer woman is survived by 67 grandchildren and a number at nieces and nephews. Among the granddaughters are Mrs TB Swearingen and Mrs William Baker. Tracy Baker, the high school student, is a great-grandson.
      During her long residence here the deceased became well known to all old residents of the county and especially to those who came to the county in the very early days.
