Michael Hopkins
Mike Hopkins, one of the pioneers of St. Croix County, and well known farmer, died at his home in the town of Richmond, Sunday as a result of a stroke on Wednesday night. Funeral was held at Immaculate Conception yesterday morning and was one of the largest in the history of the congregation. Multitudes from the towns formed a procession that escorted the remains to their last resting place, and many from the city paid a last tribute to an old and cherished friend.
Mr. Hopkins was in the city a week ago and appeared to be in usual good health and jovial spirits. He visited with the writer as was his custom about every time he came to town and greeted many old time friends. That night he suffered a stroke and never rallied from the effects.
Mr. Hopkins was born in Ireland 64 years ago. He came to this country when a young man, and about 40 years ago was steamboating at Hudson.
34 years ago he married Mary Hennessey of Erin Prairie who survives him with a family of children. Mike lived in Erin Prairie with his father and mother for a number of years, but about the time of his marriage he moved to a farm in Richmond. He has a brother John and Mrs. James Neary of Erin Prairie and Mrs. Larry Garrity of Minneapolis are sisters.
