Birth: Feb. 22, 1899, USA Death: May 25, 1953 Floyd County Kentucky, USA

Delphia Hopkins McCowan was born February 22, 1899, died May 25, 1953.

She was the daughter of W. R. Hopkins and Millie Hopkins, who preceded her in death many years ago. Her father died in 1907. She was left without a father when she was only nine years old. Before her father died she had Spinal Meningitis, but the Lord let her get well. got shot to death., one little girl died in infancy when she was in the hospital thirty years ago.

She leaves a husband and one son, two grand children, three brothers and three sisters to mourn her loss. But I feel like I can say, "If she missed heaven who can get there". The Writer stood by the bed side and saw her go to sleep. She had not opened her eyes for some time, but I saw her eyes open, she could not see me, but she saw the Angels. no doubt, it was some of her loved ones that come after her soul. I do believe her Soul is with her sister. brother, father, mother and her little baby today. and all the infants that have ever died, and all the children of God that have died from the beginning of time. Her blessed Soul will come and get her body soon, then both Soul and Body will sing redemption song forever and forever.

I want to say to the only son and husband. if you ever see her anymore, you will have to repent this side of Heaven. To her blessed daughter-in-law get ready. Your mother-in-law loved you and the two little children. Meet me. We loved her, yes we loved her, But Angels loved her more, And they have sweetly called her, To yonder shining shore. The Golden Gates were open. A gentle voice said come, And with farewells unspoken She calmly entered Home.

Written by her brother, F. A. HOPKINS
