The Enterprise, December 6, 1907
MRS. A. S. HOPKINS DIES AT HER HOME
After an Illness of Long Duration The End Comes to One of the City’s Most 
Estimable Ladies
     Mrs. Aubrey S. Hopkins is dead. The announcement Monday morning carried 
sorrow to the hearts of many who loved her well, for, while prepared by her 
long critical illness for the dread blow, it was none the less keenly felt by 
all here.
     At 10 o’clock Sunday night her spirit passed from the shadows of morality 
into the sunshine of eternity; peacefully and calm, a restful close of a well 
spent life.
     And hundreds in Covington will drop a silent tear upon her bier.
     Though many weary months she had struggled bravely, hoping against hope 
that relief might come and her life be spared to her loved ones. All that the 
best surgical skill could render availed naught, and slowly the tide of life 
ebbed until the end came.
     Besides her devoted husband, Mrs. Hopkins is survived by two small 
children, Ila Mae and Aubrey Hopkins, Jr.
     The funeral services were conducted from the Methodist Church Wednesday 
morning by Elder Jordan, of Stone Mountain and the remains interred in West 
View Cemetery.

MRS. A. S. HOPKINS IS SERIOUSLY HURT
An Accidental Explosion of Dynamite Cap Causes Fatal Results.
     Mrs. A. S. Hopkins, while at the home of Mrs. T. M. Berry, had a very 
painful injury inflicted, from the explosion of a dynamite cap.
     Mrs. Hopkins was complaining of headache when the little boy of Mrs. Berry 
came in the room blowing the cap. He was told to throw it in the fire, not 
knowing that it was a deadly missile. The moment it was in the fire it exploded 
and the shell of the cap struck Mrs. Hopkins in the right side inflicting a 
painful and serious injury. Medical aid was at once procured and everything 
possible was done.
     Thursday morning Mrs. Hopkins was resting very well and her recovery is 
predicted.
     She has been in ill health for nearly a year and was just regaining her 
strength when the accident occurred.
     The daughter of Dr. Hopkins is at this time very sick with typhoid fever 
and is under the care of trained nurses from Atlanta.
