J.E. Hopson
The Fort Towson Enterprise – April 18, 1919 – transcribed by Ron Henson

Death of J.E. Hopson
    Mr. J.E. Hopson died at his home here Tuesday a.m. at 9 o’clock. His death was by no means a shock to his family or friends for he had been in declining health for several months. He had passed his three score and ten being seventy-three years of age.

    Mr. Hopson was a native of Arkansas, a typical southern farmer, an upright Christian gentleman, trusted and honored by all who knew him, having been a member of the Baptist church many years.

    He has been a resident of our town for the past 12 years and during his first years of residence here was active in business.

    He is the father of ten children all of whom are grown and living. Beside these he leaves a devoted wife and grandchildren.

    The funeral services were conducted at the Doakesville cemetery by Bro. John Crain, a former pastor.

    The Enterprise extends condolence to the bereaved family.
