Mrs. Julia Ann Hopkins

Julia Ann Hopkins, daughter of Jacob and Delilah Mizer, was born in Fulton
county, Ohio, Jan. 28, 1872 and died April 20, 1951, at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Harlow Schomp, in Ogden township, Lenawee county, Mich.
She had been in failing health for several years, having been confined
to her bed for nearly two years, where loving hands did all they could
to minister to her every need. She was 79 years, two months and 22 days
old.

October 8, 1890, she married Rev. Clayton P. Hopkins of Delta, Ohio and
together they walked the pathway of life for nearly 53 years. 42 years
of which were spent in faithful ministry for the Lord Jesus Christ. A consistent,
victorious Christian character she made an ideal minister's wife, able
to assume her responsibility with Christian grace whether in the parsonage
as gracious hostess or in the work of the church by her husband's side.
Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins were familiar figures especially in this community
where so many of their years of faithful service centered and the Ogden
Community church.

Mr. Hopkins preceded her in death eight years ago April 12. She was also
preceded in death by three daughters, four brothers and five sisters. Surviving
is the daughter, Mrs Florence Opal Schomp, who so lovingly cared for her
these last years, and one sister, Mrs Leila Ohlinger and one brother, Mr.
R. D. Mizer, both of Delta, Ohio.

A faithful pastor's wife, a kind and loving Mother, an ever helpful friend,
who too has heard the summons, "Well done" and has laid aside
the cross to receive the crown.

We wish to thank our relatives, neighbors for the many acts of kindness,
messages of sympathy and beautiful flowers received during the sickness
and death of our Mother. Also we wish to thank Rev. Fisher and Rev. Guthrie
for their comforting words and Rev. Wilmer Miller for the beautiful songs.

Mr. and Mrs. Harlow Schomp.
