In Response To: Hopkins (Beverly Hopkins)

I am including an obituary for Barbara Hopkins' aunt and a biographical sketch of her grandfather. There is quite a bit of genealogical information. Barbara's father was George Macy/Macey Hopkins [June 22, 1907 - February 13, 1988]

Miss Dorothy Hopkins passed away on Friday, June 7, 1963 at Topeka, Kansas where she had lived with her sister, Mrs. Margery Orth since her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Hopkins passed away in 1940. She and her brother Donald were twins and were born near Bear Grove in September 1912. Burial was at Bear Grove Cemetery on Tuesday, June 11. She had been a wheelchair invalid for the past twenty years. Miss Barbara Hopkins, her niece, spent last summer and since school was out this year with her aunts at Topeka. She leaves three brothers, Mark whose home is in Texas, Macey of Guthrie Center and her twin brother, Donald who lives at Dodge City, Kansas, and several nieces and nephews and her sister Mrs. Margery Orth.
