" Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Hopkins, Formerly of Marshalltown, Have a Sad Christmas"
"A telegram received in the city Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock from Creede, Col., by Mrs. Sophia Ferguson, of 208 East Webster street announced an extreme sad Christmas for Mr. and Mrs. Dallas E. Hopkins, formerly of this city, Rueben, age 4 years and Ruth 1 1/2 years of age, the only children of Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins, are both dead after an illness of two weeks with scarlet fever. The little girl died Tuesday forenoon at 11 o'clock and the boy at 2 o'clock Christmas afternoon. Mrs. Hopkins was formerly Miss Lottie Ferguson, daughter of Mrs. Sophia Ferguson."
Notice the typo of Reuben for Ruby.
Second notice about Ruby and Ruth's death. Ran Thursday Feb 20, 1901. in same newspaper.
" Mr. and Mrs. Dallas E. Hopklins, of Creede, Col. arrived in the city this afternoon and will remain for an indefinite visit with the later's mother, Mrs. Sophia Ferguson, sisters, Mrs C.A. Deuell, and Miss Ella Ferguson, brothers, Messrs, George W and Ed Ferguson, and other relatives and friends. Mr.Hopkins has been engaged in the Jewelry business at Creede, but is not to return there, as the altitude, which is about 10,000 feet, is too high for Mrs. Hopkins, who is in very poor health. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins will return to Colorado, however, as the western climate is necessary because of Mr. Hopkins's health. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins, it will be remembered, had the sad misfortune to lose their two daughters, Ruby and May, this winter, one dying Christmas eve and the other Christmas day, as the results of scarlet fever."
Ruby Olive Hopkins was most likely born in Marhalltown, Marshall County, Iowa. She was the daughter of Dallas Edgar Hopkins and Kittie (Lottie) Charlotte Ferguson.

Ruby was the great granddaughter of Enoch Straw and Betsy Welch
Ruby shares a headstone with her sister Ruth Arlyne Hopkins who also died in 1901.
