The Weiser American
Weiser, Idaho
Thursday, May 7 1931
 
MRS. JOSEPHINE HOPKINS
 
Josephine Ella Higgins was born November 10, 1854, at Fairfield, Ohio.  On 
January 18, 1880 she was married to Francis T. Hopkins.  In 1890 they came to 
Idaho to live and have spent the time since then in Weiser, having lived for 
the last thirty seven years in the home on East Court Street.
 
Mrs. Hopkins has been a Christian for many years and recently became a member 
of the local Congregational church.  After coming to Weiser Mrs. Hopkins was 
active in community and lodge work.  She was a charter member and first 
guardian neighbor of the women of Woodcraft, Weiser lodge.  At one time she 
was very active and held an office in the Outlook club.  Her supreme interest 
however was in her home and family.  She was a self sacrificing mother, one 
who gave herself for the sake of family, esteeming it a better thing to help 
than to help herself.  Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. 
C. T. Coulter, Mrs. B. H. Miller and Mrs.. Lyman Hinckley, all of whom were 
with her when she entered into eternal rest Saturday evening, May 2.  There 
were also two grandchildren, Lee Francis and Patricia Ann Miller.  Mr. Hopkins 
died in 1925.
 
Funeral services were held at the family home Wednesday afternoon at two 
o'clock, conducted by Rev. L. Titus of the Christian Church.  The women of 
Woodcraft held their memorial service at the grave.
