To incur this level of wrath even after your death takes some doing.

What is the backstory here? This is amazing.
bork: I’ve been trying to find out. So far, some very casual Googling has failed to turn up anything other than the photo being posted in other places.
Buried in Texas, USA
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=hopkins&GSfn=bernard&GSbyrel=all&GSdy=1993&GSdyrel=in&GSob=n&GRid=52513068&df=all&
there’s an app for that?
SSN is 457-07-5922; was in TX when SSN assigned. http://ssdmf.info/by_birthdate/19041202.html Would have to dig up the probate record (if it even exists) to figure out more.
Shopped. You can tell by the pixels.
I would almost guess that his family (or families!) got to know him much better after his demise than they did beforehand. A lie always catches up with you, apparently even after death.
Even if it is ‘shopped, it is kind of amazing that someone would undertake to do it.
the guy had no family at all, was married to a woman the last 7 years of his life, and days before he died was revealed to have been quite the deceptive lowlife. this man was from my hometown; i’m familiar with him.
@Rusty: Your name is faker than mine! Is the information fake, too?
@Rusty
What exactly made him a ‘deceptive lowlife’?
@Rusty That’s quite a coincidence that he happens to be from your hometown. I’m not going to call bs yet. Could you please provide all of us inquiring minds with some more background…such as his wife’s name, what he did, etc?
Why did he have to be a Hopkins? Why couldn’t he have been a Smith, or a Shackelford?
Dang it. Now I have to check up on all my relatives.
Bernard Hopokins born in Missouri , death in Caldwell, TX….Parents PeterPaul Hopkins 1865-1937 from Ireland and Cathrine Noger from Missouri 1880-1943.He was single in 1930 census living in a boarding house as they did sometimes when unmarried back then …in Beeville, TX. He married a woman named Lillian Lucille Newman 1907-1988. I found her on Ancestry as married in the 1930 census to a man named Jack Moore Plummer with two kids marked as private…boy and girl..so that means they are living and not listed online for privacy. Marriage to Jack Plummer first husband was Jul 19, 1925. She must have married Mr Hopkins sometime after 1930 if he was only married 7 years before he died, which I cannot prove unless someone can get the marriage certificate from TX. I am looking for family online family trees in Ancestry and emailing people about him if hes in their line….something is very amiss….and its certainly not correct to place this stone…I contacted the cemetery …Morton Cemetery in Richmand , FT Bend Co, TX and asked who placed that stone….they must require permission to place stones in their cemetery…..I got a one short sentence reply….we have no records…HUMMMM….a cemetery that lets anyone place anything without permission or a record of who placed it????
By the way Lillian Lucille Newman Plummer Hopkins was only 17 when she married Jack Plummer in 1925. I do not know if the two children she had with Plummer are the same two listed with Mr Hopkins….she either had 4 kids…boy and girl with each man, or they are one and the same ….Mr Hopkins may have had step kids….hmmmm….
