Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas have 600 acres 
of land in trees. The grounds about 
the office, attractively laid out and 
planted, have been the special care of 
Josiah Hoopes for many years. Many 
West Chester properties have been laid 
out and planted with ornamental trees 
under his direction. For a number of 
years he served as a trustee of the 
West Chester Normal School. He 
traveled in Europe and contributed 
many articles to publications. He was 
a patron of base ball and athletics. He 
leaves a widow and son, and a brother, 
Abner Hoopes, who with George B. 
Thomas constitute the firm. He was a 
life member of the Society of Friends.
