L.C. HOPKINS—Wife of Col. Hopkins, of New York, Who Has Been Visiting Georgia. Brunswick, Ga., December 6.—(Special.) Colonel Lewis C. Hopkins, of New York, has returned to the city from a trip north, on which he was called to attend the bedside of his wife during her recent illness, which terminated fatally. Colonel Hopkins was some weeks ago selected by large moneyed influences of his native state to come to Brunswick and look after their interests here and in other portions of southeast Georgia, and he had only been in the city of a few hours when a telegram told him of the serious illness of his wife, whom he had left well and happy only a short time previous. During his short previous stay here he made many acquaintances, which added to the friends whom he had met before coming here, extended to him the most sincere expressions of sympathy. The following notice of Mrs. Hopkins’ death was published in The Daily Standard Union, of Brooklyn: “The funeral of the late Mrs. Maria C. Hopkins, of this city, will take place today (Sunday) in Cincinnati. Mrs. Lewis Hopkins died Thursday at the residence of her son, Franklin W. Hopkins, in Alpine, N.J., after a two weeks’ illness of typhoid pneumonia, while preparing to accompany her husband to their new home in Brunswick, Ga. She was a daughter of John and Julia Maria Whetstone, who were pioneer settlers of Cincinnati, her mother at one time having lived in the old stockade fort commanded by her grandfather, David Strong Moore. Remotely her lineage touched that of her husband, she having been a lineal descendant of Stephen Hopkins, of the Mayflower, and John Hopkins, one of nati [sic] Mrs. Hopkins was prominent in the founders of Hartford, Conn. In Cin- [sic] church activities, and in Brooklyn, where she was a member of the Plymouth church. She and Colonel Hopkins celebrated the golden anniversary of their marriage last January. Her husband and two sons, Allison R. and Franklin W. Hopkins, survive her.” Additional Comments: More Glynn County Genealogy & History can be found at File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/glynn/obits/h/hopkins9787gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.8 Kb
