On Sept. 9, 1898 she was united in marriage at Sioux City, Ia. to Felix William Nern of Boswell, Ind. They made their home on a ranch at Newcastle, Nebr. until 1911 when they moved to a ranch south of Gordon, Nebr. They lived here until 1945 when they retired and moved to Gordon where they have since lived. Mrs. Nern leaves to mourn, her immediate family - one son, Lee Myers; three daughters; Mrs. Chester Skanadore and Mrs. Orin Slater of Gordon, and Mrs. Harry Baker of Lusk, Wyo.; 16 grandchildren; many other relatives and a host of friends. One daughter, Mrs. Frank Gwynn, preceded her in death. At the age of 62 Mrs. Nern accepted Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized in a lake on the ranch. For the past seven years she has been confined to a wheel chair, but here she continued her Christian evangelism by mail and with those who came to visit her. Her prayers for her family and friends have gone around the world. Funeral services were conducted from the Church of God in Gordon, with the pastor, the Rev. Carl C. Williams, officiating, assisted by the Rev. Melvin Grosenbach. Burial was in the Gordon Cemetery with Gates and Son Mortuary in charge." (Gordon, Nebr., 1963) According to the Cass County, Missouri Marriage Records Maggie Hopkins married Humphrey M. Myers on 20 January 1889. Humphrey Myers is shown living in Prairie, Warren County, Indiana in the 1900 Census, with his marital status shown as divorced. By calculating the said number of years they were married on the Census, it is known that they divorced in about 1897. Ancestry DNA testing has finally proven that Mary's grandfather was Thomas Hopkins (1804-?) of Lincoln and Montgomery Counties, Missouri, and that her father James Hopkins was Thomas's son James S. Hopkins (1832-1883), who lived in Lincoln and Montgomery Counties Missouri before moving to Dallas, Texas in the late 1870's, a relatively short distance away from where Mary's brother (and James's son) Harry Coleman Hopkins was born in Sherman, Texas in 1875.
