Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins are among the best known of Danielson's citizens,} residents here since 1880.

Mr. Hopkins is one of a family that numbered seven children; he was born December 5, 1835, in Burrillviile, R. T, where he resided until 1862.

H, and then served an apprenticeship to a spindlemaker in Burrillville, where he subsequently engaged in _mereantile business for two years. He was a good student, quick and keen of com- prehension, and early develoved that degree of accuracy which later served him so well in public and financial af- fairs. After leaving Burrillville in 1862, Mr. Hopkins was successfully engaged in merchandising in Providence, for three vears more, until 1865, when he moved to Thompson, Conn. - There he engaged in the manufactyre of cot- ton goods, continuing until 1870, when he returned to Burrillville and estab- | lished a woolen goods manufactory.
