Mr. Geo.
E. Hopkins and wife of Estline, South Dakota, are visiting relatives
in this vicinity. Mr. Hopkins paid the Star a visit on Saturday.

left here with his father in 1849 for the Western States.
They

Dakota. The Great Northern was the only railroad in western Ontario
when he left here.
His

in Townsend, among them being Levi Lewis of Waterford, John Lewis of
Townsend Centre, Hugh Collver of Bloomsburg, who are cousins.
