His father was Daniel W. Hollopeter and his mother, Harriet A. (Ingle) Hollopeter.
He came to Harrington in May of 1899, a short time after the arrival here of his brother Charles. The two brothers leased and farmed land southwest of Harrington for 17 years, gradually acquiring land of their own until they had built up quite a little stock ranch and had founded a herd of purebred Shorthorn cattle.
He was a member of Harrington Lodge No 160, IOOF, and the Unique Encampment IOOF of Spokane.
From his obituary in the Harrington Citizen Newspaper 14 October 1929; "The funeral was held in the forenoon, following a custom in the Hollopeter family, coming down through generations, from the old-time Dnukards. "No Hollopeter was ever buried, as far as we have any record, at any other hour except one falling in the forenoon, and almost always at 11 o'clock," said his brother J. W. Hollopeter. John Hollopeter lived and died a bachelor. He was frank, honest, jovial, sincere and thrifty. He and his brother Charles were life companions and business partners. They ate each other's cooking, forebore each other's "chafing," and were jolly good companions. They shared alike each other's joys and sorrows."
He had cancer and passed away at the Spokane Deaconess Hospital. His funeral was held in the Harrington Community Congregational Church
