I. Hopkins, which occurred recently in a hospital in Olympia, Wash. Rev. Hopkins will be remembered as a circuit rider of the Methodist church through this section more than fifty years ago, and not many years ago several articles, written by Rev. Hopkins, were published in the Enterprise. Rev. Hopkins was a resident of Tumwater, Wash., for more than 41 years and was eminently known throughout that section of Washington and was an active worker in the Methodist church up until the time of his death.
