His early life was spent in Iowa, then the family moved to Little River, Kas., where he attended school. After finishing high school; he entered lane University at Lecompton, Kas. After graduating from the university he entered the ministry and for forty-two years he has served in that, capacity. Of that time twenty years were spent as a presiding elder and the past three years in evangelistic work.

He was married to Florence SOMMERS of Miltonbale, Kas, about forty years ago. To this union were born three children, Margaret Mary, Jennie Esther and John Richie. The Mother died August 16, 1914 {sic 1915}. The daughter Margaret Mary FRYER died July 3, 1927, and is buried by the side of her mother, in Hawthorne, FLA.

Rev. HOPE was a thorough Christian gentleman, true to his comvictions, and of a deeply abiding faith. He was a minister of ability, a pastor whose wise counsel was ever a source of help and comfort not only to members of his own church but to men and women of other religious organizations. His ministry was marked by his earnest desire to be of service, to present the gospel in a way that it would reach and appeal to those who needed it.

His was a sunny disposition. Cheerful and happy himself, he spread optimism in other lives.

Funeral services were held this Wednesday, afternoon at 2:00 o'clock in the Sabetha United Brethren church, Rev. E. Atkinson preached the sermon. Rev. A. L. Lange assisted in the service.
