CHARLES HOOPES
Vol. 3, p. 1107-1108

A specially efficient corps of executive officers is in charge of
the affairs of the Oklahoma Railway Company, which owns and operates
one of the finest electric street-car and interurban systems in the
West, and of this representative corporation in Oklahoma City Charles
Hoopes is secretary and auditor. He is not only one of the most alert
and progressive business men of the Oklahoma capital but his
popularity and influence are enhanced by his distinct civic loyalty
and public spirit.

After duly availing himself of the advantages of the public schools
of his native state, Charles Hoopes finally entered the University of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and in the law department of this
institution he was graduated in 1905, with the degree of Bachelor of
Laws. Soon afterward he became associated with the legal department
of the Union Fidelity Title Company of Pittsburgh, in the offices of
which corporation he held the responsible position of assistant title
officer until November, 1910, having been connected with the company
for fifteen years, in the meanwhile having also done an appreciable
amount of general law business in and independent way. In November,
1910, Mr. Hoopes resigned his position in Pittsburgh and came to
Oklahoma City to accept the office of secretary of the Oklahoma
Railway Company, in which his older brother, Edward Hoopes, of
Pittsburgh is a large stockholder. In addition Mr. Hoopes has also
been its auditor since the 1st of January, 1914, and his professional
ability and fine executive powers have both come into effective play
in the handling of his multifarious and responsible duties. He is a
steadfast, reliable and progressive business man of broad views and
unswerving integrity of purpose, and in the city and state of his
adoption he has gained a wide circle of friends in both business and
social circles. He takes vital interest in all that touches the
welfare of the community. He is a communicant of the Protestant
Episcopal Church and his wife holds membership in the Presbyterian
Church.

At New Brighton, Pennsylvania, on the 23d of September, 1911, was
solemnized the marriage of Mr. Hoopes to Miss Anne JACKSON, daughter
of Samuel F. and Mary Jane (DUNBAR) Jackson, of that place.
