The Hoppes website has extensive information on Elijah, obtained from his pension record and the Jay County history. "Elijah Hoppes, the oldest son of John and Sarah (Caylor) Hoppes, was born on July 18, 1840 in Fayette County, Ohio. On January 16, 1859, he married Elizabeth E. Philips. On February 28, 1864 while residing in Richland Township, Jay County, IN, he was drafted as a Private into Captain Mitchell's Company (D) of the 130 Regiment of Indiana Infantry for a period of three years at Mount Vernon, IN and was mustered into service at Kokomo, IN shortly thereafter. A Company Muster-in Roll dated March 10, 1864 indicates that he was not carried on subsequent rolls and that his name was cancelled by line. His biographical sketch in a history of Jay and Blackford Counties indicates the reason his name was cancelled from the muster roll: In 1863 Mr. Hoppes volunteered in defense of the Union, but his wife's health at that time caused him to send as a substitute James Collett, of Pike Twnshp. Before the war was over Mr. Hoppes was drafted, but his business + family again made it necessary to furnish a substitute which he did in the person of Henry C. Decker, of Henry Cty. Ind."⁵

An 1887 biography stated: "Elijah Hoppes, One of the leading agriculturists of Jay County, residing on Section 18, Jefferson Twnshp., was born in Fayette County, Ohio, July 8, 1840, a son of John + Sarah Hoppes. When he was 3 yrs. of age his parents settled in Richland Twnshp., near his present residence, and there he grew to manhood, his youth being spent in assisting his father on the farm where he learned lessons of persevering industry which have been of benefit to him in later life. He was united in marriage in his nineteenth year to Miss Elizabeth E. Phillips, the date of their marriage being Jan. 6, 1859. Mrs. Hoppes was born in Highland County, Ohio, a daughter of Asa F. + Mary Phillips, with whom she came to Jay Cty, Ind., when about 12 yrs. of age. Her mother is deceased, and her father is now a resident of Redkey, Jay Cty. Nine children have been born to Mr. + Mrs. Hoppes- Sarah Jane, wife of Elias Steed, of Jefferson Township; Mary S. died in infancy; Cyrus E., a school teacher, living with his parents, Tellitha G., wife of Edmund Bergdoll, of Knox Twnshp., Osta V., Rosa A., Wilber G., Bertha J. + Hattie L. the last five living at home. In 1863 Mr. Hoppes volunteered in defense of the Union, but his wife's health at that time caused him to send as a substitute James Collett, of Pike Twnshp. Before the war was over Mr. Hoppes was drafted, but his business + family again made it necessary to furnish a substitute which he did in the person of Henry C. Decker, of Henry Cty. Ind. Mr. Hoppes commenced life for himself on 65 acres of land, the part of the homestead on which he now resides, which had been given him by his father. About 8 acres of this tract had been cleared and a small log cabin built, the former house of Jacob Smith, one of Jefferson Twnshp's old pioneers. From this small beginning he has become one of the wealthiest men in his township, considering his age, and the fact that his property, with the exception of the original 65 acres has been acquired by his own efforts, his progress has no parallel in the county. His real estate covers 450 acres which may be said to be divided into four farms, although all join each other, and all are located on section 18, Jefferson Twnshp. Of his land 250 acres is cleared of the timber and very productive, the balance cleared of the underbrush and seeded, it being used for pasturage. His large substantial brick residence is one of the best farm houses in the county, his other farm buildings being correspondingly good. In politics he has always affiliated with the Democratic, being reared in the principles of that party. Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church."⁶

He is the fourth son of a family of six children, five sons and one daughter. He is of German extraction on his father's side. His great-grandfather, George Hoppes, was born in Germany, October 27, 1744, and was married to Elizabeth Miller. George Hoppes emigrated to this country shortly before the Revolutionary War, settling in North Carolina. He was by occupation a blacksmith, and was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, under General Washington. After the war he moved to Gallia County, Ohio.

The subject of this sketch, a few years since, bought seven head of thoroughbred short-horn cattle at Cynthiana, Kentucky, which he brought to Jay County, this being the first herd-book registered animals of that strain brought to Jay County.

An 1887 biography stated: "John Hoppes, who has been identified with the interests of Jay County for almost half a century, was born in Fayette County, Ohio, December 6, 1815, a son of John and Nancy (Brown) Hoppes, the father a native of South Carolina, and the mother born in Ohio. They were married in Ohio, in which State the father died. The mother died some time before in Jay County, while on a visit to the home of our subject. John Hoppes, the subject of this sketch, was reared and married in his native State, and in August, 1842, with his wife and two children started with his household goods packed in a wagon, from Fayette County, Ohio, for Jay County, Indiana, bringing with them three cows and twenty head of sheep. After a tedious journey over rough and muddy roads, they arrived at their destination, and settled on a tract of 160 acres of wild land in Richland Township. Mr. Hoppes had come to the county the year before, and erected a hewed log house 22 X 24 feet in dimensions, on his land, this being at the time the largest house in Jay County. The stock was then allowed to roam at large, and many a time our subject has had to go a distance of two or three miles to find his horse before going to work. Just after their arrival in the county one of his horses got away, and he had to follow it through the State of Ohio, almost to Covington, Kentucky, before capturing it, thus leaving his family for three days, before their goods had been unpacked. Among his stock was a pet colt which he found on his way back, in a field of oats near Deerfield. Many were the hardships and privations they experienced in the pioneer home. Their trading was done at Fairview, and the nearest water mill was at Mississinewa, to which place they carried their grist on horseback. Game of all kinds was in abundance, and night was made hideous with the howling of the wolves and other wild animals. Mr. Hoppes did not spend his time hunting, but devoted his attention to clearing his land and making a home for his family. By persevering industry and excellent management he has succeeded well in life, and is numbered among the most prosperous farmers in Richland Township, he having started his sons in life, and still has 132 acres of choice land, where he makes his home. Eight children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hoppes, six of whom survive, all living within a mile of the parental homestead. They are as follows -- Elijah, who married Elizabeth Phillips; Sylvester, who married Emeline Doughtery; John Henry married Mitchell Hollowell; James William married Emma Rowe, Peter married Daisy Racer, and Nancy Jane, wife of Albert Clore. Mr. Hoppes has aided materially in the advancement of his county's interests. When the Pan Handle road was being built through here, and when he was less able to give than at any other time, he donated eighty acres of land, and $100 in cash, and also put in a great deal of the tile along the road for which he never received any remuneration. In politics he casts his suffrage with the Democratic party. He is a member of the Dunkard church."¹⁸

Bonnie Lee Hornaday was born 12 February 1893.¹ She was the daughter of Charles Albert Hornaday and Irene D Caylor.¹

Bonnie married Fay Cleo Staly 17 March 1912.¹

Charles A Hornaday was born 18 August 1891.¹ He was the son of Charles Albert Hornaday and Irene D Caylor.¹

Charles Albert Hornaday was born 27 January 1865 in Washington Township, Appanoose Co, Iowa.¹

Charles married first Irene D Caylor, daughter of William M Caylor and Mary Ann Whisler, 17 March 1889 in Appanoose Co, Iowa.^2,1,3

Charles married second Nellie B McConnell 9 September 1896.¹

A history of Appanoose County in 1913 stated: "No history of Appanoose county would be complete without a review of the career of Charles Albert Hornaday, one of the founders of the town of Udell and since its organization one of the greatest individual forces in its continued development, advancement and growth. He is in addition one of the prominent and important farmers and stock-raisers in his township, where he owns one hundred and sixty acres of well improved land on section 18, and by his progressive methods, his scientific work and his well-deserved success has constituted himself a powerful factor in agricultural circles. Appanoose county numbers him among her native sons, for his birth occurred in Washington township, January 27, 1865, his parents being Elisha and Emily C. Hornaday, natives of Hendricks county, Indiana. But little is known of the earlier history of this family beyond the fact that the first representatives probably came from Ireland. In addition to the members of the family now living in Appanoose county there is another branch at Fort Scott, Kansas, to which Grant C. Hornaday belongs, and another at Keokuk, Iowa, where Calvin Hornaday resides. Another member of this family, William T. Hornaday, is manager of the National Zoological Park at New York City.
Charles A. Hornaday acquired his early education in the public schools of Appanoose county and afterward attended Oskaloosa College in Oskaloosa, Iowa, for three years. He began his independent career by teaching school, in which occupation he engaged for seven terms, after which he took up his residence on his present farm of one hundred and sixty acres on section 18, Udell township, and engaged in general agricultural pursuits and stock-raising. Both branches of his business prospered extensively under his able management and in 1903 he added to his activities by becoming interested in the seed business, which now forms one of his most important interests. He is progressive, modern and practical in all that he does and in consequence his efforts have been rewarded by gratifying prosperity, his success placing him today among the men of marked ability and substantial worth in this part of the state.
During the entire period of his active career Mr. Hornaday has been prominent in all movements which had for their object the further development, improvement and upbuilding of this section and he has figured influentially in all progressive public enterprises. He was one of the founders of the thriving little town of Udell and was largely instrumental in inducing the Rock Island Railroad to build and maintain a station here. He represented the citizens of his district before the board of railroad commissioners of the state at a hearing at Udell, January 31, 1894, appearing against Mr. Brayton, who represented the Rock Island Railroad. Important testimony was introduced by other leading citizens, among whom were J. J. Wall, D. W. Bean, J. B. Stuckey, James McDonald, John B. Powell and A. H. Stuckey, and after all the evidence had been heard the board decided that it was the duty of the Rock Island Railroad to provide reasonable shipping facilities to the section of Appanoose county surrounding Udell and that a new town be founded, where the road should build a depot, provide an agent and install sidetracks and stock yards.
