Mariposa Gazette, Number 21, 30 July 1904:
Death of Charles Hope.
Another pioneer of Mariposa county has passed away. Last Saturday between the hours of ten and eleven a. m. Charles Hope departed this life after a lingering illness of several months. The immediate cause of his death was heart disease. Mr. Hope had almost reached the years allotted to man, being in his 69th year. While death is always sad and burdened with its grief. there is a consolation and joy to those who mourn his loss that his life was an open book with stainless leaves. He wore upon his brow the stamp of honorable manhood and leaves as a heritage to all his friends and loved ones life's richest legacy—the example of a well spent life, and crowns his death with the fact "that an honest man is the noblest work of God."
Charles Hope was born in Durham, England, June 11, 1835, and came to the state of Wisconsin with his parents when a small child. In 1852 he came to California by way of Cape Horn. He first worked in the mines of Tuolumne county, but soon came to Mariposa county which has been his home for over half a century. For quite a period of time he was associated with James Lindsey, our Supervisor, under the firm name of Lindsey, Hope & Hope, in mining, teaming and stockraising. For forty years he has been a member of the I. O. O. F. Lodge and was buried by that order Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The pall bearers were Charles and Daniel Wagner, James Covell, R. A. Blum, Charles Ford and James Ripley. A selected choir sang the beautiful hymns, "It Is Well With my Soul" and "Shall We Meet Beyond the River." At the grave they sang "Nearer, my God, to Thee." Deceased leaves a widow, three sons, one daughter and two stepsons.
