Hoprig is the name of the old Scottish settlement 1/2 mile to the west. It was once one of the largest producing butter creameries in the state. The original settlers thought the railroad was going to come through here, but one railroad went 5 miles east and one went 7 miles west along the river. So Hoprig went by the way side. I used mom because all my son's friends know they can give me a call if they need a ride or get a rip sewed up or something else. I taught Family and Consumer science and high school special ed. I was the champion of all the students who needed extra help. Retired now and dog mother to 3 rescue dogs, a black lab, a walker coonhound and a toy mixed breed. I still help farm and I try to quilt.
