p. 458: "In 1824 he removed with his parents from Henderson, New York,
to St. Clair (then Palmer) Michigan. After his marriage he opened a
carpenter's shop and resided there until his death - a kindly,
respected, and influential citizen. Both he and his wife were active
members of the congregational church, of which he was for many years
choir leader, and he gave largely to the building of the church
edifice. They celebrated their golden wedding in 1881."

I've finally found my G gf's Death Cert. it lists his birthdate as 5/11/1869
and deathdate 9/17/1949. He was born in Fremont,Newaygo cty, MI and died
in Conneaut OH. He was married to a Mary Smith and their dau, my gm was
born 1/23/1892. Charles and Mary were divorced and both remarried. Mary
married a Messer and died about 1964 in a nursing home south of Ionia, and
was reputed to be in her 90's. Their dau., my gm, Berenice lived in NE
Ohio for a large part of her life. She died in Belding, Ionia cty, MI in
1963, her last husband being a Wm. Hopkins, a cousin (not sure of degree of
kinship). Allegedly, we have many Hopkins relatives in Michigan. I've met
some as a youngster in my teens.
Would appreciate any help regarding Charles W. and his wife Mary. Or, any
of my other Hopkins kinfolk from Michigan.
