Captain H. H. Hopkins,

Formerly of Altoona, died at 9 a.m., Saturday, at his home, 851 Wylie 
avenue, Pittsburg.  He was born in Huntingdon county sixty-seven years 
ago, and lived there until the breaking out of the war.  He enlisted in 
the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and served 
through the entire war, being mustered out as captain of company H.  He 
was wounded at Chancellorsville, from the effects of which he never 
entirely recovered.  This wound, it is thought, caused a stroke of 
paralysis three months ago, and he has been gradually sinking ever 
since.  After the war he lived in the oil regions, following the 
developments, as an auctioneer and commission merchant.  Two years ago 
he moved to Pittsburg.  He is survived by a wife and five children: 
Elisha, in North Dakota, Grant S., in West Virginia, H. H., jr., of 
Burnes Bros., J. J. E., of the local force of the Chronicle Telegraph, 
and one daughter, Alice.  He was an attendant of the Presbyterian 
church and a member of Post 3 G.A.R.  A brave soldier and a genial 
friend, he will be missed by a large circle of acquaintances.  The 
funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of Gen. 
Alex. Hays Post No. 3.  Interment was made in Allegheny cemetery.
