DIED
Died, April 23d, at the home of her son, Geo. S. Hoppin, esq.; in Niles township, Mrs. Thadeus Hoppin, in her 91st year.
Mrs. Hoppin was a native of Hingham, Mass., and removed to Niles in 1844. She inherited a sound mind in a vigorous body, but was modet and retiring in dispoition, and with no desire to push herself beyond the circle of home and its immediate neighborhood. Hence it was at her own fireside and surrounded by her large family of sons and daughters that her virtues and talents shone with the purest lustre. She was a devoted Christian, a member of the Presbyterian church, and although upwards of ninety years of age, will be both missed and mourned by the many friends she has left behind her.
