   Alonzo B. Hope, farmer, of Sedgwick county, Kansas, is a native of the
Dominion of Canada, having been born at Toronto on December 24, 1861. His
parents were Joseph and Elizabeth A. (Young) Hope, natives of England. The
father was born February 22, 1825, and the mother February 11, 1823. They were
married in England on May 15, 1847, and immigrated to Canada in 1850. After
living in Canada fifteen years they moved to Ohio in April, 1865, and to Kansas
in 1872. In Kansas the elder Hope preempted 160 acres of land in the southwest
quarter of Section 21, Ohio township, where he lived the rest of his life. He
died July 28, 1886, and his widow died October 13, 1906. They were the parents
of nine children, five of whom are living. The children were: Mrs. Jane Mackey,
of Gray county, Kansas; Herman, deceased; Walter, of Michigan; Stewart A., of

B. Hope bought the old homestead in 1891, where he now lives and owns 320 acres.
On May 3, 1898, Mr. Hope married Miss Alice Robinson, who was born in Illinois
December 12, 1871, a daughter of Samuel and Sybel (Burke) Robinson. Mrs. Hope's
father came to Sedgwick county, Kansas, in 1886, and settled near Oatville,
where he worked at his trade as a blacksmith. He died October 31, 1898. His
widow still lives and resides with Mr. and Mrs. Hope. The latter have had six
