LARGE CROWD ATTENDED FUNERAL HERE SUNDAY
The funeral services of little Horris Dee Hopkins of this city were held from the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. E. Hopkins, at 10:30 o'clock last Sunday morning. Revs. B.D. Clark of Iowa Colony and W.E. Miller of Rosenberg officiated and interment was made in the Woodman Cemetery of this city. One of the largest crowds ever seen at a funeral here was present to pay their last sad respects to the memory of the little fellow.
Horris Dee Hopkins at the time of his death was 13 years and 3 months of age. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. E. Hopkins, who have made this city and Damon their home since moving here from Kansas some six years ago. He was an exceptionally bright and intelligent child and greatly loved by his playmates and grown people alike. He bore great promis of fulfilling the dreams of fond parents, but his little candle was snuffed out by a sad automobile accident in this city on Thursday afternoon, October 19th. Dee, as he was familiarly known by young people and old, was a consistent Christian child, having united with the Baptist church of Rosenberg.
The accident which caused the Hopkins child to loose hi life occurred about five forty-five Thursday afternoon, when an automobile driven by Falcom Donley of this city struck him. The child was crossing Main Street at a point just North of the Meyer-Forster Company's building, going from one hobby-horse to the other at the carnival grounds, when the car which Mr. Donley was driving, in attempting to pass a vehicle, ran him down. Internal injuries and a fractured skull resulted. The child was placed aboard the Southern Pacific passenger train and an attempt made to reach a hospital in Houston for an operation, but so severe were his injuries that he died before the train reached Sugarland, twelve miles away.
Dee is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. E. Hopkins, four sisters, Misses Charity and Eula Hopkins of Rosenberg, Mrs. J.E. Hooper of Damon Mound and Mrs. W.M. Sattagast of Tulsa, Okla., and two brothers, Herrick Hopkins of this city, and Chas. A. Hopkins of Mulvane, Kansas, all of whom were present at the funeral. Messrs. Chas. S. and J.R. Hopkins and Mrs. Chas. A. Hopkins of Mulvane were also present.
