Ionia Daily Sentinel Standard, 4 & 8 Sep 1937

George Truman Hopkins, 60 years of age, died suddenly Friday evening, September
3.  From his home on Cleveland street he had walked to the Husted store on the
corner of Main and Mill streets.  While there he was taken ill and driven to his
home by one of the men in the store.  As they drove in the yard Mr. Hopkins
asked to be allowed to sit in the car for a few minutes until he felt better,
but died before he could leave the car.

He was born at Ithaca on March 27, 1877, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Hopkins,
who were farmers in the community.  From Lansing he moved to the community
between Greenville and Belding where he was employed in farming until his health
broke about five years ago.  He lived there about 15 years, and was married on
June 28, 1924, for a second time.

Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Lila Hopkins; four children by the first marriage
who live at Lansing, Claude Hopkins, Ernest Hopkins, Richard Hopkins, and Mrs.
Mabel McMann; five children at home, Margaret 12, Elsie 10, Rosaline 8, George
Jr. 7, and Arthur 3; three brothers, Jake, Frank, and Hiram Hopkins, all of
Lansing; and one sister, Mrs. Pearl Butler of Lansing.

Funeral services will be announced later.
