Lot No. 23 is another of Salem's divided lots. William A. Hopper and his wife, Maude Hopper Linville, are buried on the north end of the lot. The south end of the lot was purchased by the last of the Hupp siblings after the family overflowed the lot (No.51) where their parents, Aaron and Margaret Anna (Redlingshafer) Hupp, and six other Hupp children are buried. Twelve of 14 Hupp children survived infancy, but only two of those married. The remaining 10 lived together in the Hupp family home two miles south of Salem on the west side of the New York road. Josiah Hupp was the first to die, in 1911 at age 48; and Otto, the last, in 1962, age 80. Although they share a lot, the Hoppers and the Hupps are not related. The inscriptions here were transcribed from north to south.

"He was honest, industrious and a good citizen. He has been a constant sufferer for the last five months but has born his sufferings with patience. He was converted and baptized during his last illness and died, fully believing in the saving power of Jesus Christ. His last testimony was that he was ready to die and to meet his family and friends in Heaven.
"Year, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me."
