Capt. Georg Hopf died at his home, No. 401 West Pratt Street, yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, in his 41st year. He came to Baltimore from Kronach, Baveria in 1851, and during the Civil War fought in the Union Army with the 2nd Maryland Volunteer Regiment, was a prisoner for 7 months after the Battle of Gettysburg, and was later promoted to Captain. When the war ended, he returned to his former work as a stove moulder, and also the Liberty Lodge of Odd Fellows and the "Hildisebunde" of which he was a member. For some five years he has suffered from myelitis, which yesterday ended his life.

The burial of the mortal remains of Capt. Georg Hopf, who died Sunday afternoon around 5 o'clock after a five-year suffering from myelitis, at the age of 41 years, took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home, No. 401 West Pratt Street. After Pastor Burkart of St. Johns Church on Biddle street spoke comforting words to the surviving family, the cortege made its way to Baltimore Cemetery, where burial occurred. Pallbearers were Messrs. Jak. Schäfer, Joh. Brehm, Geurg Daumann, Karl Heck, Michael Keller and J. M. Meter.
Mr. Hopf came with his parents as a 12-year-old boy in 1851 to Baltimore, learned the stove-casting business in the firm of Howard & Bartlett, joined the 2nd Maryland Volunteers Regiment in 1861, participated in 11 battles as a sergeant, was captured on July 30, 1864 when Fort Petersburg was bombarded, and was held seven months in Columbus, South Carolina, and was discharged as a captain. He then resumed his employment in the Howard & Bartlett factory, but in January 1875, when he began to suffer from spinal cord disease, he retired to private life. The deceased, which was a true soldier nature and showed courage and bravery during the war, leaves a widow and three children.
