Harriet Emma Toothaker was born in Des Moines County May 9th, 1851. Three years later she moved with her parents to this county [Jefferson County] where she has since resided. On April 2, 1903, she was united in marriage to W.R. Smith of Glendale [at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Toothaker]. Besides her sorrowing husband she is survived by two sons by a former marriage, Frank Hopkirk of Ruskin, Nebraska, and Ernest Hopkirk of Ft. Worth, Texas; her mother Mrs. F.S. Toothaker and two sisters, Mrs. J.R. Parsons of Superior, Nebraska, and Mrs. Ida B. Hartley of Boring, Oregon. -- Fairfield (Iowa) Journal, August 12, 1918, page 5. =================================================================== Harriet Emma Toothaker (“Emma”) was the daughter of Frederick S. and Nancy J. (Loughary) Toothaker. On August 7, 1871, in Lockridge, Iowa, she married James H. Hopkirk, the son of William and Jane (Redpath) Hopkirk. James was born in 1848 in Jefferson County, Iowa. They were the parents of three sons, Frank, Harry (who died in 1887), and Ernest. Shortly after Ernest’s birth, James left the family. In the 1880 census Emma and the three children are listed alone in their household, and in the 1885 Iowa census they are living with Emma’s parents. By 1888 James was living in Washington State. He died November 18, 1939, in Sedro-Wooley, Skagit County, Washington. James was the superintendent of construction for courthouses in Whitcom, Thurston, and Jefferson Counties, Washington. In 1901 the Thurston County Courthouse became the Washington State Capitol. In 1893 James was in Chicago supervising the construction of the Washington State Pavilion for the 1893 Columbian Exposition World’s Fair. He invented the “Hopkirk Pipe” for use in the “Denny regrade” (lowering streets so they were not so steep). About two weeks before her death, Emma was going down a railroad embankment to deliver a message about a phone call for one of the workers. She fell and broke her hip, and then contracted pneumonia.
