Notes
On July 13, 1888, Richard arrived in New York. He had traveled on the steamship the Ems from Bremen to Southampton and then to New York. He was only 16 years old at the time and made the trip by himself. Richard traveled in steerage.
The Eider was a ship in the North German Lloyd line. Her maiden voyage was on June 2, 1884 from Bremen to Southamption to New York. She had 4 masts and 2 funnels. Her sister ship was the Eider.
On August 14, 1898, Richard married Frieda Obenland in Manhattan County, New York. (Certificate #12892.)
The 1900 Census says their only daughter, Ruth, was born in May, 1896. When the 1900 Census was taken, the Hopps were living in Brooklyn, New York.
In that same census, Richard was working as a bookkeeper. According to the census of 1900, Richard and Frida had been married for 6 years. This information isn't correct. Richard was born in 1872. If he had been 27 when married, that means he would have been married in 1899. If in 1900 he had been married for 6 years, he had to have been married in about 1894. But the marriage record shows they were married in 1898, but that might be an error by the person transcribing the marriage record. In other words, we really don't know exactly when they were married until we get the actual marriage certificate.
Richard passed away on March 6, 1903 in Kings County, New York. (Certificate #1387.) According to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, he committed suicide. At the time, Richard was working as a caretaker at Henry's Bathing Pavilion at Coney Island.
Richard was buried three days later on March 9th. He was buried in the Strachan family lot in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. (His sister-in-law, Jennie Obenland was a Strachan by birth.)
