Mr. Hupp came to Gordon in 1885 and suffered all the hardships of the early pioneer. He has seen this country as it grew from the frontier of the great west into the settled country of today. He suffered and prospered with his chosen community and for a number of years he has been retired making his home in east Gordon.

On August 11, 1896 he was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Boyles of Gordon, who with their daughter Marjory survive him.
