I called the city clerk only to discover that it would cost me $30 to have them search and cost of record per person so I decided to try the cemeteries instead. Today I found them at the SPRINGFIELD CEMETERY (730-0712) See information below: SPRINGFIELD CEMETERY information (over phone) 11-12-04 BION HOPKINSON died April 11, 1942 Buriel - April 14, 1942 Age: 85 Cause - Hemiplegia Lot: 3350 location: Betula Path Sec: 11N10 Lot owner: MRS. ADDY C. HOPKINSON (Head - East) interred in WILBERT Vault ========================== SPRINGFIELD CEMETERY information (by phone) 11-12-04 ADDY C. HOPKINSON - Widow of BION HOPKINSON Date of Death: July 30, 1942 Date of Burial: Aug. 1, 1942 Age: 82-2-17 (??) Cause: Cerebral Hemmorhage Lot: 3350 Location: Betula Path Section: 11N10 Lot owner: MRS. ADDY C. HOPKINSON (Head-East - Interred in WILBERT Vault) ================== Additional information on them from the SPRINGFIELD LIBRARY SPRINGFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY - 11-08-04 (from the year 1930 on Directory lookup) Bion & wife Addie lived at 124 Byers St until Circa 1940 -moved to 141 School St. Between 1937-1938 Bion seems have sold his envelope Company-Eastern Envelope Co, Addie continued to work at the compamy at 29 Worthington St for about 2 years as a clerk. By 1943 there is no listing for any Hopkinson at all. (However, in the 1942 directory there is a Bion Hopkins --wife Etta--at 294 St. James Avenue (a son?) but by 1943 he is not listed either. No occupation was lited in the 1942 directory) I would dearly love to obtain obituaries for both BION and ADDIE C. Yesterday I obtained new information about his grandfather (*until then nothing known about him) from the obituary of his uncle, HENRY J. HOPKINSON. BION's brother RICHARD ORION was a bearer in that funeral in Sherbrooke Quebec. obit in the SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD - April 29, 1920 SDR. (EXCERPT) HENRY JONATHAN HOPKINSON was born in London, England, the son of the late William Hopkinson who came to Canada as a representative of the British American Land Company. Also, it is noted that Orion Hopkinson of Waterville was a bearer. THANK you so much for your offer to find obituaries. BION is most important to me but I would like one for wife if possible.
