SUDDEN SUMMONS
Mrs. Earl T. Hopkins, Ill a Day, Dies at Rushmore.
Mr. [Mrs.] Earl T. Hopkins, of Adrian, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. W.E. James, a few minutes after 5 o'clock, Monday morning, February 4th, 1907, after an illness of about twenty-eight hours. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins had gone to Rushmore Saturday to remain until Monday. About midnight Saturday she was seized with a violent vomiting spell, but, after a physician had attended her, she recovered somewhat and did not appear to be seriously ill. About one o'clock Monday morning she was again taken with an attack similar to that she had sustained before. The physician was again summoned, but even then there was apparently nothing alarming in her condition. Soon afterward, however, she became unconscious and remained so until death ensued. The cause is attributed to the bursting of a blood vessel.
The body was brought to the home of her mother, Mrs. W.H. Prideaux, in Adrian, Monday forenoon, and from here the funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Gillis, of Rushmore, assisted by Rev. Hancock, of Adrian conducting the services. The eastern Star and Royal Neighbors participated in the obsequies. The floral tributes form lodges and individuals were profuse and beautiful.
Mary Gertrude Prideaux was born in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, February 17, 1881, and come to Adrian with her parents in March 1883. She was married, July 26th, 1906, to Earl T. Hopkins, of Bedford, Iowa.
She had not enjoyed the best of health for several years, but was never unable to go about the ordinary duties of life.
Death came in a sudden and tragic manner and it is a singular coincidence that she died in the same house in which she so recently married.
A mother, husband, five sisters and four brothers are left to mourn her departure. She was beloved by all both old and young. She was a dutiful and loving daughter and sister and an affectionate wife. A large circle of friends and neighbors will also miss her bright and winsome personality. --Adrian Democrat
