Feature

18 Years Ago: Cyndia Hopkins

Cyndia Hopkins was born on 29 September 1902 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky to William Columbus Hopkins and Martha Ella Collins. She died on 26 September 2005 in Barbourville, Knox County, Kentucky, 3 days before her 103rd birthday.

Every genealogist has someone (or several someones) that they wish they had talked to about the family history before it was too late. Cindy is one of mine. I knew Cindy all my life. She was still living when I became interested in genealogy, but it was still too late because of her health by that time.

Cindy married Grant Saylor on 8 May 1920 in Bell County, Kentucky. Cindy was buried beside Grant (who died in 1984) in Resthaven Cemetery, Loyall, Harlan County, Kentucky.

Relationship: 1st cousin of maternal grandfather, Elmer Dennis Hopkins
