    George Ellis Hopping. It is to such energetic and progressive young farmers
as George Ellis Hopping that much of the great advancement in agriculture and
stock raising is due during the last few years, and it is to such as he that
Hamilton county, and the Miami valley in general, look for a continuation of the
present almost unparalleled prosperity. Mr. Hopping was born November 11, 1891
in Valley Junction, Whitewater township, Hamilton county, Ohio, a son of William
V. and Carrie (Lake) Hopping, both natives of Hamilton county. William V.
Hopping obtained his education in the local schools and followed the
agricultural business throughout his life. His death occurred January 31, 1908
and Hamilton county lost one of its best loved, respected and successful
agriculturists. In politics, Mr. Hopping was a Republican and served as a member
of the Board of Education, and as township assessor for some years. He was a
member of the Presbyterian church and was one of its most charitable members.
Mr. and Mrs. Hopping were the parents of four children as follows: Edith, who
resides at home; George E., the subject of this sketch; Edwin, who resides in
Whitewater township, and Wilbur, deceased. George Ellis Hopping received his
early education in the local schools and after laying aside his studies,
returned to the home farm where he acted as manager for some time. Later he
purchased fifty-seven acres of fine land and engaged in business for himself,
and he continues to be eminently successful at the present time. Since
purchasing his first strip of land, Mr. Hopping has added eighty-five acres, and
he now owns one hundred and forty-two acres of the finest land in Miami valley.
In politics, Mr. Hopping is a Republican, but gives more time to his business
interests than to the affairs of the public arena. Fraternally, he is a valued
member of the Knights of Pythias and the various Masonic bodies, and is also a
member of the Presbyterian church. Although Mr. Hopping is yet a young man, he
is counted as one of the most prosperous, respected and able agriculturists of
Hamilton county, a worthy son of a worthy father.
