MRS. OLIN HOPEWELL PASSES SATURDAY Mary Ada, youngest child of Milton L. and Elizabeth J. Reyman of Burt County, was born July 20, 1877 and died at Lincoln November 11, 1933.

She received her education in the Burt County schools, and at the State Normal school at Peru, Nebr. where she graduated from the teachers’ course. Her first years teaching were in Pilger, Nebraska schools and later she taught for five years in her home county.

She was married to Olin Hopewell in Marcy 25, 1902, and they made their home on the Hopewell farm in the Arizona neighborhood in Burt County where their two children, Elizabeth and Bayard, were born and where they resided until 1914 when they moved to Blair.

The husband passed away June 10, 1929, and since that time both children have married, but the wife continued in the home and later was in the employ of the World Herald taking charge of the business at this place until a few weeks ago when poor health compelled her to go to the home of her daughter at Clarkson, Nebr. and later to a hospital in Lincoln where she died.

Besides her devoted children, Elizabeth and Bayard, she is survived by two sisters: Mrs. Josephine Hancock of Stanton, Nebr. and Miss Kate L. Reyman and one brother, Abe Reyman of Arizona Center; nine nieces and two nephews also survive her and one grandson, John Arden Faltys.

The funeral services were held in the Congregational church in Blair on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock with Rev. A. F. Newell officiating, and interment was made in the Tekamah cemetery beside her husband. World Herald carriers, who were greatly attached to Mrs. Hopewell, having known her through her work, acted as honorary pallbearers.
