William G. Hopkins (c1823-1885)

DEATH OF WILLIAM G. HOPKINS.
A Former Treasurer of Warren County Dies Suddenly.
On Monday morning, William G. Hopkins, one of Morrow's most widely known and respected citizens, died at his home after a short illness, from a sudden complication cause by an attack of heart disease, at the age of about sixty-two years. He was born a few miles south of Lebanon and received his education here and in the district schools. His early life was passed on a farm, but he finally entered into partnership with his brother Houston, in the dry goods business. In 1861, he was elected to the office of County Treasurer and held it for four years to the entire satisfaction of all. After his last term expired, he returned to Morrow, where he quietly resided until the time of his death. He was a man noted for his strict integrity and honesty and he was as universally respected as he will be mourned.
