In Life’s Bright Morning.

Ludd Hopkins son of Ludd and Mary C. (Austin) Hopkins was born in Rensselaer, Ind., Apr. 14, 1874, and died at the same place, and in the same house in which he was born, on Nov. 4, 1895, at the age of 21 years, 6 months and 21 days. He was the third of a family of four children, all of whom with his mother survive him. His father died in 1891. A complication of diseases, reaching probably every vital organ in his body, caused his death. He was educated in the public schools of Rensselaer, and afterward took a course of book-keeping and stenography, in both of which he became very expert. He held a position in Austin & Co’s, office for several years until his failing health compelled him to abandon it, and in 1894, he went to California, where he rapidly regained his health, in fact, about 3 months after he went west he weighed 30 pounds more than when he left Indiana. He returned here in March of this year and took a place in the Commermercial State Bank, but in a short time his health failed again and he had to give it up. He united with the Presbyterian church in 1891, and has been a faithful and consistent member ever since. He was musically inclined, and was a member of the cornet band of his native town for years, which organization took part at bis funeral.

He was a faithful and affectionate son and brother. He was industrious, persevering and very ambitious, and had he been spared would doubtless have made a success in his chosen work. , ’ His funeral was preached in the Methodist church yesterday at 2 p. m., by Rev. M. R. Paradis, of the Presbyterian church. A quartette composed of Miss Carrie Eger, Mrs. C. D. Martin, Dr. EL L. Brown and Jos. Matheson, furnished -the'music, and his body was folibwed to the grave by a large concourse of citizens. v ”• The pall bearers, selected from his young associates, were, George Hopkins, Chase Kelley, Ross Grant, Job Harrison', Joe Reynolds and Charley Chamberlain.
