The Valdosta Times of February 8, 1902
  John Hardee Hopper Dead. Mr. John H Hopper was born in Rockingham N.C., on 
January 21, 1823, and died January 18,and would have been 83-years old.
  He came to this county in 1850 selling tobacco. In those days tobacco was 
sold all through this section from tobacco wagons. After his second trip in 
these old North Carolina wagons, he became overseer on the Harry Redford place.
  About 1853, he married Miss Nancy Folsom, a daughter of Israel Folsom, a 
prominent and prosporous farmer living in Lowndes, now Brooks County.
  In 1867 his wife died and afterwards he married his first wifes sister, Miss 
Martha Folsom. Two children were born to them. E.M. Hopper and M.B. Hopper, who 
is now dead.
  Three years ago he united with the primitive Baptist Church at Columbia and 
was Baptized by Elder A.V.Simms.
  Realizing the end of life was near, he took Mr.W.S. Yates with him to the 
Columbia cemetery and stuck up a stake exactly where he wanted to be buried.
  In the late War, he belonged to the 20th Battalion of Cavalry, Millen's 
Regiment, and served under Gen. Wade Hampton. (Quitman Advertiser)
