Heart Attack Fatal To Snowden Hopkins
Nicholas Snowden Hopkins, 59, died at his home, "River's Edge" on North River at 9 p.m. Thursday, April 22. He succumbed to a heart attack. He had been taken ill about a month ago but had been up and around for about two weeks when he suffered his second in fatal attack.
Funeral services were held at Ware Church Saturday at 3 p.m. Rev. Herbert S. Osburn officiating. Pallbearers were Allen Hicks, W. S. Field, J. H. Martin, Howard Waddell, Joseph J. Tabb, W. F. Taliaferro, W. C. Stubbs, Jr., and Dr. H. A. Tabb.
Mr. Hopkins was a lifelong resident of Gloucester County, having been born at Waverly, on North River, on Sept. 23, 1877. He was the second son of the late Gerard and Emily R. Snowden Hopkins, who came to Gloucester from Maryland about 1874. He received his early education from private tutors and was a student at the College of William and Mary from 1891 to 1894.
He spent his entire life as a farmer, farming Waverly from 1894 until his mother's death in 1922, when the place was divided among the heirs. After a year spent in Kent County, Md., he returned Gloucester 1923 and built a home, "River's Edge," on a part of the old home-place.
He was one of the first farmers to take up commercial growing of daffodils in the Gloucester-Mathews region and built up a large planting of imported Holland varieties. He was a member of the old Farmers' Club of Gloucester some years ago, and later of the Gloucester Agricultural Association. In 1914 he helped organize the First National Bank of Gloucester and was the director for the first 15 years of its existence.
He is survived by his wife, the former Miss Eslina Lloyd Hepburn of Hanover County, whom he married in 1900; by two daughters, Mrs. William H. Baker of Baltimore and Miss Rebecca P. Hopkins of Richmond; two sons, Dr. Sewell H. Hopkins of Bryan, Texas, and Frank S. Hopkins of Baltimore, and four grandchildren.
Also surviving our two brothers, Joseph W. Hopkins Wilmington, Del., and Gerard Hopkins of Gloucester, and three sisters, Mrs. R. M. Janney of Gloucester, Mrs. Samuel A. Janney of Brinklow, Md., and Miss Elizabeth S. Hopkins, formally of Hyden, Ky., who is returning to Gloucester to head the new settlement work in Lower Gloucester.
Mr. Hopkins was a man of modest and retiring nature, who never sought public prominence, but whose sterling integrity and many acts of generosity and helpfulness will not be forgotten by those with whom he came in contact.
