From a newspaper:

DR. HOPKINS PASSES AWAY
Prominent Galeton Dentist Expires at Blossburg Hospital Tuesday Evening

Dr. Frederick W. Hopkins passed away at the Blossburg Hospital at 9 P.M., Tuesday evening June 12th, following an illness of less than two weeks duration. It was on Saturday, June 2nd, that Dr. Hopkins went to the hospital for an examination by his personal friend, Dr. Cole. At the time he left he did not think he was seriously ill, but an examination showed him to be suffering from uraemic poisoning, and little hopes were held out for his recovery.
In spite of the fact that it was known that he was seriously ill, the news of his death was a shock to everyone who knew him. His wife and son were at his bedside when he expired.
Dr. Hopkins was born at Oneonta, N.Y., and was 58 years of age on his last birthday. His first dental work was with the late Dr. H. J. Stocking of Westfield. The firm of Stocking & Hopkins established a branch office at Galeton, which was in charge of Dr. Hopkins, and in 1901 he moved to Galeton permanently.
His first wife died quite a number of years ago, and on January 5th, 1921 he was united in marriage to Miss Amy Thompson of this place, who survives him. He is also survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Isabelle Hopkins, who made her home with her son; one son, Reuben S. Hopkins, of Hackensack, Minn., and two brothers, E. M. Hopkins of Woodhaven, N.Y., and S. E. Hopkins, of Oneonta, N.Y.
Dr. Hopkins was a general favorite with all who knew him. Always dependable and fun-loving he was always one of the first to respond in any civic or public enterprise and his generosity and co-operation were limited only by available time and means.
Prominent in Masonic Circles he was a Pastmaster of Galeton Lodge No. 602, a member of Galeton Council, Westfield Chapter, Coudersport Consistory, Coudersport Commandery and Ismailia Shrine. He was President of the Galeton Acacia Club, a member of the board of directors of the Brookland Club and Vice President of the Galeton Motor Club.
The funeral services will be held from his late home on Main street, Friday, June 15th at 1:30 P.M., in charge of Coudersport Commandery, Knight Templars. The funeral will be private, except to members of the Masonic fraternities and by card. This is in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. Interment will be made in the West Hill cemetery.
