Mrs. J. E. Hopson Dead
Aged Resident of Bedford Passed Away June 25, 1919
Mrs. J. [ames] E. [lliott] Hopson [Lydia Sophia Honeysett] passed away at her home in Bedford June 25, 1919, aged 86 years, one month and three days. The funeral was held at the home, conducted by Rev. E. E. Lowe on Friday, June 27, and interment was in Bedford cemetery.
Mrs. Hopson was born in Chautauqua County, N. Y., May 22, 1833. She was married to Mr. [Daniel] Daniels, who was killed in the civil war, and in 1875 was again married to J. [ames] E. [lliott] Hopson. Immediately after their marriage they came to Taylor county, settling on the farm south of town now occupied by their son, J. [ohn] W. [esley] Hopson. She was the mother of four children, two born during her first marriage and two during the second. They are Mrs. Virtue A.[nn] Gates and Mrs. [Au] Gusta Perkins, and Mr. J. [ohn] W.[esley] Hopson and Mr. S. [eymour] J. [ames] Hopson. They moved from the farm to town eight years ago, and six years ago Mr. Hopson died.
Although past 86 years old she held her age remarkably well and was keen and active to the last, being sick only for a couple of weeks before her death.
(By some oversight this fact escaped the attention of the Times-Republican until this week. ---Ed.)
