Following is John Hopkirk's Obituary, published 1904 Fairfield, Iowa
John Hopkirk was born January 24, 1849, and died January 19, 1904. at his home east of Lockridge. He was a son of John and Jane Hopkirk, who were among the early settlers of the county and located on a farm near Lockridge in 1839. Here their son John, one of a family of five children, was born and reared. He married Miss Lou Danielson and they have made their home on the farm where he died. He was an industrious, kindly man, respected by all who knew him. Thirty-two years ago he was attacked by that dreadful disease cancer, and although everything was done to lesson the suffering, which was terrible, and effect a cure, all was in vain and he only grew worse. Some time ago he professed his faith in the promises of God as revealed in His word and since then has looked forward to the time when he should be called from this world of pain and sorrow to that land whose inhabitants know neither sickness nor death. He welcomed rather than dreaded death and often spoke of his heavenly home where he would be reunited with the dear ones gone before. Funeral services which were held at the Baptist church, Thursday afternoon, were conducted by Rev. James Barton of Mt Pleasant, assisted by Rev. S.T. Horton. The former spoke words of comfort from beautiful passage of scripture, "Let not your hearts be troubled," while the later paid a tribute to the life of the deceased. Appropriate music was sung by the choir. The body was interred in the Lockridge Cemetery where just one year before his sister Beatrice was laid. Mr. Hopkirk leaves besides the sorrowing wife three sons, Karl, David and Gordon, and three daughters, Mabel, Eldra, and Fern.
