Hopkins, Thomas E.
Funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church i Rosenberg, Wednesday afternoon, January 6, 1937, for Mr. Thomas E. Hopkins, age 84 years, of Damon, Texas. Mr. Hopkins met a tragic death when his home was burned during the early hours of Tuesday morning. He lived alone. The Herald has been unable to learn the cause of the fire.
Mr. Hopkins has been a resident of Fort Bend and Brazoria counties for many years. He had been prominently identified with the business life of Damon for a long while, following his removal from Rosenberg. He still owned property in Rosenberg at the time of his death.
Mr. Hopkins is survived by one son, H.W. Hopkins of Damon; four daughters, Mrs. Goldie Sattegast of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Mrs. Will Schendel and Mrs. Eula Ward of Damon and Mrs. J.E. Hooper of Houston and a number of grandchildren.
Rev. B.D. Clark, Christian minister, conducted the funeral services, assisted by Rev. L.O. Hollaway, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Several beautiful hymns were sung by the friends of the deceased. The funeral was largely attended by friends from Damon, Needville, West Columbia, Houston, and Rosenberg. Intermnet was made in the W.O.W. Cemetery.
The Foerster Funeral Home of Rosenberg had charge of funeral arrangements.
The many friends of the family of the deceased extend sympathy to them in their hour of bereavement, the tragic death of father and grandfather.

Obituary published in the Rosenberg Herald on Fri., 15 Jan 1937.
Damon was shocked beyond measure when it learned early Tuesday morning that one of their beloved citizen's house had burned and he had possibly lost his life in the fire. The fire was discovered shortly after 3 a.m., but as Mr. Hopkins lived alone and the house was old it was falling in before help could reach it. The neighbors and relatives hunted frantically with lanterns and flash lights, but did not discover until daylight, the charred remains of their father and neighbor in the room which had been the kitchen. No one knows but it is supposed Mr. Hopkins arose being unable to sleep and started a fire and in some way it caught either his clothes or something which started the fire. It will always be a mystery. Mr. Hopkins came from Kansas in 1910 and settled on a large tract of land where he lived ever since. He had many friends, both in Damon and the surrounding country. His daughter, Mrs. Eula Ward, was with him the night before the tragedy until a late hour and when she asked him how he felt he told her he was waiting patiently for the hour to come when he could join his wife, who preceded him in death ten years ago.
How little we can see of the future, today we are here, tomorrow we are gone. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Clark at Rosenberg, Wednesday afternoon at the Baptist Church. Damon sympathizes with the bereaved family.
