Eight members of the family are pictured: John Prat Hopley, Sr., his wife, Georgianna, and six children. The family members are standing in front of a picket fence that surrounds their house.

After his graduation he remained at the academy as a teacher. He emigrated to the United States with his uncle and settled in Zanesville, Ohio. In 1845 he moved to Logan, Ohio, where he married Georgianna Rochester (1826-1904) in 1848. Hopley was a teacher, lawyer, postmaster, and owner of two Bucyrus newspapers. He was active in the Republican Party. Members of the Hopley family were active in such pursuits as business, politics, journalism, the temperance movement, and woman suffrage.
