Venerable Pioneer Dies At Crossing Samuel Hopkins, 83, was killed instantly Monday morning, when struck by the Streamliner at the railroad crossing Justt east of the depot He was on his way to town to get a saw sharpened when the ac- clflent occurred. A frieght train was stopped east of the crossing on a siding, and the aged man evidently was watching it, thinking it was the train to took out for; so railed to see the streamliner earning from the west; and it was impossible to stop the train -scon enough to prevent it hitting him He lay at the side of the track. toarely a rod from the crossing, With skull fractured, chest crushed and leg broken.
For a few minutes the mistaken report got around that the victim of the accident was a brother, i William J. Hopkins, and this in formation was telephoned to Mrs. Rosina Hopkins, wift. of Samuel. as she went to get the car she wondered wheie her husband was, as he had gone to the yard to chop wooa, ana had said nothing of go ing to town with the saw.
Appar ently h(. decided the saw needed sharpening, and started town without saying anything about it. A son A. R. Hopkins ar rived in time to break the news to his mother that it was her husband instead of her brother-in-law who had been killed.
It seemed almost like fate that; Mr. Hopkins arrived at the scene of the accident at exactly the instant to get hit. On his Way to town it is said that he stopped briefly to talk with people, thus delaying his progress just enough; to make the accident happen. One of Soda Springs oldest cit- lzens, he came here over 65 years ago, on November 11, 1877, riding here from Franklin with his folks in a sleigh. He had always been a layal sincere, and faithtul Latter Day Saint; and a harW worker, when his health would permit He was born in South Wales, September 15, 1859, a son of Thom as and Christina Summerhill Hop kins.
