Notities over John Clark Hoopes

I was born August 7, 1890, in Weston, Idaho, the ninth child in a family of 12
children. My parents were Daniel Lewis Hoopes and Catherine Clarke Hoopes. I was born on an irrigated farm in a two-story frame house.
I had my first job, when I was about ten years old, working for my brother Lew.
He was digging a well and I pulled the dirt out of the well with a horse. I was supposed to be paid ten cents a day. Instead of paying me the money, he gave me a yearling colt. This was my first horse. The horse I brought with me to the Teton Valley was the result of a large line of trading horses which originated with this one.
When I was about seven years old, my father won the election for sheriff.
Because Malad was the county seat, we moved there for two years. My teacher was A. C. Dally while I attended school there. When I was eight years old I was baptized in Deep Creek by Fred Jones. Looking at the creek now, I don't see how it was deep enough to be baptized in.
After Father's term was over, we moved back to Weston on the old homestead.
My teacher in school this time was John McClure. I never finished school and never went a full term. I only went until I could find work.
While living in Malad, by mother was expecting her 18th child. On the 4th of July
my younger sister was in a barn playing with firecrackers. Her clothes caught on fire and
she burned to death. My mother never got over the shock. She died March 31, 1899, at the birth of the stillborn baby. This was soon after we moved back to Weston. My mother was a very hard worker. She knitted socks for all the family. To do this she had to knit almost all the time. My father was the water master and would drive around on a buggy checking the water. My mother would go with him, knitting as they rode. At night we all had to be quiet because father would sit and read to my mother as she knit. I first worked for Father when I was 13 years old. I tended the sheep camp for the herders. I went up into the hills in early spring before the grass was green or the leaves were on the trees. Once when I came down, I got very homesick and didn't want to go back up. He said he would get a man to take my place later. When he came up to the
2
camp, the first thing I asked him was if he had brought the man to take my place. He said he hadn't. I told him I wanted to stay anyway, so I stayed all summer.
The next fall, my father sold the sheep. He was going to take them back east and I was to go with him. However, he was able to find a buyer in Montpelier, so we never went back East. On our way home I stopped to get some apples from an orchard. Father went ahead and told me to catch up with him. After I got the apples, I ran the horse very fast to catch up with father and lost my way. The horse gave out, so I had to stop for the night. The next morning I started walking home, driving the horse ahead of me. I met my father the next day, coming back after me. Father sold the farm soon after that and moved to Logan. Here he married Ella Hinckley Cardon. While I was in Logan, I took a preparatory class at the Brigham Young College. When I was about 17 years old, I worked for the Anderson Sheep Co. in Clifton, Idaho, for three years. I did chores on the farm and took supplies up to the sheepherders about every ten days. I often stayed a day or two in the camp. The rattlesnakes were very thick at that time, and I couldn't sleep at night until I said my prayers. I worked in the hay and at odd jobs in Malad for one summer and went to school for one or two months, until the Andersons sent for me to come back to work. The next year, I worked for two big sheep men, Ben Meek and Tony Nelson on their ranch at Riverdale, just north of Preston. I worked for them, for one summer. During the winter, I lived in Logan with my father, or in Weston with my sisters. When I was 19 years old, I went to work for my Uncle Tom Preston in his store in Weston. Uncle Tom had married my mother's two sisters. The first one died six weeks after they were married, so he married her younger sister. Ivy Bickmore came to visit Her aunt at Weston and would come in the store once in a while. I spent a lot of time in the basem*nt "sorting eggs." This process was called candling. A lighted candle was put under a box with a hole in it. The eggs were held over the hole. If there were any black
spots in the eggs, they were thrown away. Lizy Preston, my cousin, would come to the stairs and tell me when Ivy was in the store and I would go upstairs and make a date with her. We usually went to the dances or the traveling plays that came through. We also went for buggy rides on Sunday afternoon. She moved to Weston and taught school At the Lincoln School just north of Weston for 2 years. We went together for about three years. One evening, I went to see her in my brother George's new buggy. She was living with the Lapary family. They lived about a quarter of a mile off the main road. It was cold and dark when I went home that evening. When I tried to put a cover over my feet, the horse got too close to the fence and broke the buggy. I rode the horse home and came back for the buggy the next day. Ivy and I had an argument and broke up. That winter we were in a play and she was the lead. The play was being put on in Lewiston, about six miles from Weston. Ivy rode with the other members of the cast, and the director rode with me. That night, we made up and she rode home with me, so the director had to go home with the others. We were married on February 5, 1914, in the Salt Lake Temple. Ivy was teaching school and got a three-day leave. She had a cousin living in Farmington, which was the county seat. When we got of the train there, the conductor pointed to the courthouse,
because he could tell we were going to get married, We stayed with her cousin that night and went on to Salt Lake the next morning. We were in the temple from early dawn to 2
3
early evening. That night we went to the old Salt Lake Theater where we saw the play Mutt and Jeff. We stayed in Salt Lake two nights and then went back to Weston. When we got home, the family had a nice dinner for us. Our home in Weston was the old Relief Society room. It was a nice white painted room with light green window sills and had been well-kept That spring I came to the Teton Valley. Ivy didn't come until June after school was out. I rented a farm in Cache from Sanford Forbush. I was called a" share crop renter" because I received a share of the crops. When Ivy came, we stayed the first night with my brother Lew. The next day I took her to the farm I had rented and showed her the house that we would live in. She began to cry because she was disappointed. It was a
two room log house with a dirt roof. I had a woman in it cleaning it up. She put factory cloth on the walls and over this she put some nice wall paper. We spent three winters in this home. They were about our happiest. The first winter while living in Cache, our first child, Dan Bickmore, was born on January 12, 1915, during a terrible snow storm. The only telephone was about a mile away so I had to hitch up the team to go call the doctor. The only doctor in the valley was a woman, Mrs. Keith. She rode around in a covered sleigh pulled by a black and
white pinto and a gray horse. When I went out side to get the horses, I recognized her sleigh in the distance and hailed her down. She examined Ivy and said the baby wouldn't come until morning and asked if she could stay with us for the night. Ivy's father, Grandpa Bickmore, was living with us that winter while he was teaching school. He was late for school the next morning because he waited until the baby was born.
We lived in Cache again the summer after Dan was born. That fall, I surveyed
some state land in Clementsville. Then I rented it. The next summer I put in a crop on the farm in Cache and we moved to the land I had rented at Clementsville. Here we lived in a tent while I broke up the land to get it ready for planting. Every Sunday we would go back into Cache and feed the pigs and check on the cows there. In the fall I put in some wheat at Clementsville, and we moved back to Cache for the winter. During the winter, Grandpa Bickmore and I went into the mountains and cut timber to build a granary and barn at lementsville. Everyday I would take a load of timber down to the saw mill to be prepared. The logs we didn't get hauled to the saw mill, we put in a pile to get later. But when the new reservoir was built, it washed all the logs away. That spring Jo Goodsell helped Grandpa Bickmore and I build the granary. We lived in the granary that summer. It was the first home we owned. Although Ivy was always afraid of horses, she drove the team out to the farm with a hay rack with all our belongings on it and Dan sitting on her lap. I walked alongside her, leading the cows. We stopped renting the farm in Cache. After that, we always came to Rexburg where we rented several different homes for the winter Our second son, Ralph Clark, was born May 29, 1917 on our farm in Clementsville. Earl, Ivy's brother, went to Clementsville to phone Dr. Espy. The doctor was supposed to be up in an hour but it was a very rainy day, and he said he couldn't get through the mud. Mrs. Clements, a midwife, delivered the baby. Later Dr. Parkinson came by and examined Ivy. He said Mrs. Clements had done a fine job. Before he left, he gave us a bill for $40. One winter, we rented a house from the Buttes. It was a white frame house built flat on the ground. It was always cold and the pipes froze every night, so didn't stay
4
there the complete winter. Another winter we stayed in an apartment house. The
apartments were built out of black rock and all looked alike. We called it the jail house, because it looked so much like one. While we were living there, Clark was very ill with the croup. Our only daughter, Gwendolyn Irene, was born on May 10, 1921 while we were living in Rexburg. Dr. Rich was assisted by Aunt Sadie Baker. In 1924, I was superintendent of the Sunday school at Clementsville. One of my councilors was Bill Casper. Ivy was away one Sunday, so I had to get the children ready for church. I thought I had done a fine job, but when I got to church the women informed me that I had forgotten to put a petticoat on Gwen. All her underclothes showed through the crepe dress.
Our fourth child, Earl Lavar was born in Rexburg on April 14, 1924. We were
living in a blue frame house on 1st north and were living in the First Ward. It was an early spring, and I was halfway through the spring farming. A year later, my father died. He was a good father and was always known as a good neighbor to everyone. We were living on Webster A venue at the time in the last home we rented. In October of 1925, I bought a home in Rexburg. I paid cash for the home from the money I received from the sale of the crops that year. It was the biggest crop I ever had. The next year, however, I had a poor crop and had to mortgage the home. The year we bought the home, Earl, who was a year and a half old, got very sick with pneumonia and Ivy had to bring him down from the farm early to the hospital. In June, 1926, I was seriously injured when I was kicked in the stomach by a horse. For a while, I wasn't expected to live, and I was sick all that summer. That August our last child, John Clint, was born in our new home in Rexburg. In December, another horse stepped on my foot and broke it. I was on crutches most of that winter. When the flu epidemic came we were all sick in bed with it so Uncle George had to come haul our grain out for us.
During the depression, I sold my Ford to Burt Wilmore and used a horse and
buggy again for two years. I was able to save some money and buy some more land, which was quite cheap then because so many people had to sell their land.
We went back to Chicago to see the world's fair and pick up a new car. Dan was
on a mission in Pennsylvania at the time. He went to the factory and picked up our car and met us in Chicago. He went to the fair with us and then we took him back to Pennsylvania.
From 1935-1936, I was in the Sunday School Superintendence of the Fourth
Ward in Rexburg as First Counselor. Willard Johnson was the Superintendent and Lowell Biddof was the Second Counselor.
I had heart trouble and was forced to give up dry-farming. Earl, who had
just married, ran the farm a few years until Clint came home from college. Then I sold the farm to both of them. In 1947, I bought my first Cadillac. We went back East to get the car. Four other couples went with us. They were the Potters, Websters, Covingtons, and Widdisons. During World War II, Clark, Clint, and Earl were in the Army. Gwen's husband, Glen, was in the Navy. Dan was exempt because he had children.
5
Ivy had never liked the winters, so since the children have been married we have
gone to Mesa, Arizona, for the winter. We built a new home at 223 Cornell Avenue in Rexburg and moved from the old home after living there 33 years. Clint, who was born there, bought it from us. His daughter Linda later bought it from him. In about 1961, we took a trip to Hawaii. While we were there, we went through the Hawaiian Temple. In 1964, we celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary. We were in Arizona at the time, but had an open house when we came home that spring. All except Clark lived near home. He was living in Seattle, Washington, at the time. He had been ill and the doctor said he shouldn't make the trip to Rexburg. Because of his determination, he came anyway; so all of our children were present. This was the last time Clark was home before he passed away in Seattle on May 11, 1965.
This is our father's life as he dictated it to his granddaughter, Kathryn Hoopes.
She read it at a Hoopes Family Reunion. We, his children, would like to make just a small addition.
Our father's life has always been, and still is, one of activity. He loves life and
has made a fine contributions to the life of all those who have been fortunate enough to have been a part of that life. It has been a life of hard work which has provided his family with an abundance of the material things of this world, and one of enjoyment. His love and devotion to his family is dear to all of us. He has gained our love and respect by unfaltering acts of kindness. He has never been one to lecture to his children. The first of these was a strong belief in God and in our responsibility to choose right from wrong. Second, was the appreciation of a wife and mother. He never permitted one of us to show any disrespect for our wonderful mother when we were at home, and I am sure he would not permit it to this day. He has made everyone of us conscious of the value of family unity and love. Their home is a welcome stopping place for brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and cousins because they know they are wanted and enjoyed. Daddy loves a good time. He has had a life filled with them. He and mother have always had a host of friends and enjoyed innumerable activities with them. Our friends enjoyed our home because our parents were good company and made them so very welcome. When the folks travel, as they have a great deal, Dad makes friends with people everywhere. He watches for home licenses plates and talks with people he meets. He told us how he got his first horse in lieu of wages, when he was thirteen and that horse was traded into the team that he brought to the Teton Valley. Dad has always been a lover of hoses: he knows how to break and handle them expertly to an extent that he often scared those of us around him. He likes to tell the story of riding an unbroken horse and of one of his boys remarking, "He's got more nerve than sense." This isn't so, because he has plenty of both. He knows good horses; they are and always have been a source of constant pleasure, from the fine work horses he used on the farm in earlier days to the little Shetlands he raised later. At the present he can ride and cut cows with the best of the horsem*n.
Daddy once said, "We have two great responsibilities in this life-one to our God
and one to our family." He has and is fulfilling both admirably.
