Bernhard "Barney" Hoppenyan (b. 1 April 1833, d. 1914 Ashland, WI) - for some unknown reason, Barney begins spelling his last name with a "y" rather than a "j."

Bernard's first wife, Mary A.?, was Irish and when she died he married Mary Healy. Maytor James and Nellie Donovan Healy's oldest child. It was at this time Hoppenien became Hoppenyan. Anyone can guess why.
Bernard Hoppenien/Hoppenyan holds a patent for refrigeration. His mother-in-law, Nellie Healy died while she was living with her daughter and Bernard, in WI. However, her body was returned to Hancock and buried with Maytor Sr. and their daughter, Belle(a).
In any event my great grandfather, Maytor James Healy, was Mary Healy Hoppenyan's brother and the only one born in America.
