Mrs. Hopper had been in declining health for several months and her death Friday morning was not unexpected. Rev. H. H.

Ferrell, Russell Johnson, and Leadley Smith.

Mrs. Hopper was one of the best loved women in Brooks County. She was a devoted mother and kind neighbor. Her beautiful Christian life is worthy of emulation by the mothers of today. The Hopper home was noted for its kind hospitality. Many Ministers and Christian workers were beautifully entertained in their home.
