After one year they were transferred to Traverse des Sioux, near the present site of Sf. Peter, Minnesota. Here they gave seven years of the most faithful, devoted, self-sacrificing toil for the lost and degraded savages around them. They built a humble home and established and maintained a mission school. Five children were born to them there. Two of these were early called to the celestial home on high. Their life at Traverse des Sioux was a strenuous, isolated, but a fruitful and happy one. ...It was destined, how- ever, to a speedy and tragic end. Early in the morning of July 4, 185 1, Mr. Hopkins entered the river for a bath. He was never seen alive again. A treacherous swirl in the water at that point suddenly carried him to his death. His wife waited long the carefully prepared morning meal, but her be- loved came not again. He went up through the great flood of waters from arduous service on the banks of the beautiful Minnesota to his glorious rev/ards on the banks of the still more beautiful River of Life.
