THOMAS P. HOPE is a son of James and Abigail Hope, who were natives of
Kentucky.  The father was born November 9, 1789, and was a farmer by 
occupation, and after coming to Indiana served as justice of the peace until
his death, a period of twenty years.  His wife died June 2, 1863.  Our
subject was born February 15, 1820, in Dubois County, Ind.  May 29, 1849,
he married Nancy Harris of Dubois County.  Their union was blessed with six
children--two sons and four daughters:  Helen M., wife of J.A. Chrisman, of 
Jasper, Ind.; Emily A., wife of Lyman Curry; Laura, Erastus R. Lovicy and
Thomas P.  Thomas received as good a common school education as could be
obtained in the schools of his boyhood.  By hard work and economy he has
become a well to do and influential farmer.  He and family belong to the
United Brethren and Christian Churches.  In politics he is a Democrat and
has held the office of trustee for one year.  He is one of the old pioneers
of the county and an honest and upright man.
