Hupp who died last week in her ninety fifth year, lived over the most remarkable portion of the nation's history and is therefore a life that is very interesting to review. She was born in West Virginiain 1804 when the state was somewhat wild, removing to Ohio six years later where she lived for two years in a fort; that state at the time being on the frontier, the home of the Indians from whom the frontiers men suffered greatly. A little later she moved to Monroe County Ohio, with her parents, where she helped her father clear up a farm,using an axe and felling trees with a dexterity equal to that of the men. At the age of eighteen she was married to Rev. John Hupp and with him moved to Clinton County, Iowa in 1852 and in 1863 to Carroll County where her husband died in 1872. Being a minister all his life, many of the older residents of the county remember hearing him preach. She never remarried, remaining in the county with her children, the most of the time residing with Mr. and Mrs. Cephus Parker. She retained full possession of her mental power up until the last day of her life, the day before her death recalling many incidents that happened in West Virginia when she was but five or six years old. Her sight and hearing, however,was considerably impaired, yet she could move about the house and to some extent wait upon herself. She was the mother of fourteen children, seven girls and seven boys, six of whom, five boys and one girl being dead, the living being as follows: Mrs. Julia A. Prettyman of Butte City NE, mother of John and William, Mrs Rhoda A Smith of Minneapolis Minn; Mrs Rachel Linton of Norma Okla ,mother of John W. Linton; Mrs. Maria J. Carmickael of Butte City, Nebr, mother of Mrs O. W. Carpenter; Mrs Sephus Parker of Coon Rapids; Mrs Mary H. Holding of Sioux Rapids, Iowa; and Daniel and W.H. Hupp of Coon Rapids. The deceased are Sarah Jane, George, Nathan, Isaac, John, and Henry, the latter two dying in the army. Henry at Cario Ill of typhoid fever. John being killed in the battle on Lookout Mountain, the other three boys she gave to the war returning home. She was the grandmother of 65 children, 46 whom are living, was the great grandmother of 156, 135 of whom are living, and the great great grandmother of 15, 10 who are living. She joined the ME Church at the age of 17, being a member 78 years probably the oldest member in the state. She lived under all presidents of the United States except Washingtion and before the discovery of telegraphy, the use of steam boats and railroads in the United States. Long before Howe invented the sewing machine, before harvesters and mowers, etc. She lived when Aaron Burr committed conspiracy, when Commodor Perry fought the battle of Lake Erie, during the capture and burning of Washington, the battle of Tippacanoe, New Orleans, the Blackhawk War, War with Mexico, and the admission into the Union of all the middle and western states, also most all the northern and southern states, there being but 13 states in the Union when she was born. What a privalege it was to live through those stirring times, this great history making epock, and yet the hardships endured, and the hard labor performed throught the lack of all the labor saving inventions during this period was such that the present generation would not care to endure.
