He was by nature a scholar, and early manifested an ar- dent love for books.

Although he never entered the school of law, yet his knowledge of the science was quite extensive. and his practice considerable. Ile was a man possessed of more than ordinary intellectual power, which with cultivation would have placed him in the front rank of professional life. He however improved the limited meaus afforded him to the best advantage, and was a man with a large fund of intelligence, which coupled with sich natural gifts, enabled him to impart useful instruction to all associated with him. He was widely known among our citizens, during his long residence here, as a shrewd and useful mau in community. He was considered by all, a man of good judgement, upon matters of every day life, and his usefulness was repeatedly brought into requisition. He always took great interest in all 'matters pertaining to religion and education. More- over he was a public spirited man, and always favored improve- ments. His talent for business was great, being thorough and efficient. He was a skillful penman, was a ready writer, and his transactions methodical and exact.

his brothers settled in Dorset about the same time. His log house was the first erected in town, and there was no other fam- ily in town for several months. He came with two horses.bring- ing his family and effects upon their backs, and pursuing his journey here by marked trees. He froze to death a few years after his settlement here, and previous to the Revolution. There had been no grist mill erected in town at that time, and the set- tlers were obliged to pound their corn, or go to Manchester to mill, a distance of fourteen miles. It was on one of these trips during the winter, and when on his way home, at night that So- per perished. It was a bitter cold night, accompanied by a sc- vere snow storm, and it is supposed that he became exhausted by travel, and overcome by cold. It was somewhat late when he started home with his grists, and dark when he reached his broth- er's house in Dorset. They advised him not to return that night, - but despite their entreaties he concluded to pursue his journey across the mountain. His not returning as expected that night, gave his family mach uneasiness. All through the night they watched his coming with great anxiety, but no sound could be heard without, save the howling of the storm, and above this at times, the distant howl of the wolf. Mrs. Soper little knew the sad fate of her husband, and what the morning would reveal, and as neighbors were not plenty, nothing could be done, or any search made until morning. His brothers fearing something might have befallen him, determined in the morning to come to Danby, and ascertain if he had reached home in safety. Following the path as nearly as possible, they at last found the team and grists .. and the body of Soper beside a tree, where it is supposed he had set down to rest, frozen to death, it being less than one mile from his home. The body was buried in a hollow log, on the spot where found, it being on the land now owned by John Hilliard, nearly opposite the residence of Ezra Harrington, and an old stamp is still standing near the grave, the first ever made in town.
