Hopper Striker MOTT
Birth: 19 Apr 1854 in New York City, New York Co., NY

Hopper Striker Mott was a ninth-generation descendant from Adam Mott who settled in New Amsterdam in 1640. Hopper was the author of the 1908 book The New York of Yesterday. The book tells the history of the village of Bloomingdale, which was a village covering a large area on the west side of Manhattan which stretched from approximately 53rd Street to 131st Street and Sixth Avenue to the
Hudson River. The book is scarce with only 500 copies being published at ten dollars per copy, an exorbitant amount in 1908. It is worth it, as the book is
copiously illustrated. The family obelisk marks the final resting place of Hopper Striker Mott who died in 1924 at the age of 70.
