The TALES you probably never heard about

JOANNA HOPKINS

[Welland Telegraph, 23 October 1891]

Mrs. Hopkins, wife of Mr. Samuel Hopkins, died at her residence on Tuesday morning, when she had within about a month complete her 65th year. Deceased for some time had been delicate from the effects of epilepsy, but no suspicion was entertained that dissolution was so near until Sunday. On Saturday night she retired at the usual hour, and on Monday morning was discovered in an unconscious state from which she did not rally. Deceased had been a resident of Port Colborne for about 40 years, and on the 29th of July next would have celebrated her golden wedding anniversary. The funeral took place yesterday and the remains were interred in Grabiel’s cemetery.
