• DIVORCED MRS. HOPKINS IS MARRIED, LITTLE SON GIVING MOTHER AWAY
Port Huron, Mich., Sept. 23 – Before an assemblage of select guests in the old Mills homestead in Marysville today, 11-year-old Mark Hopkins gave the hand of his mother, Mrs. Margaret M. Hopkins, in marriage to George K. Barnes, of St. Louis, Mo., formerly of Detroit.
The bride is a sister of Myron Mills, the M. U. R. magnate, a daughter of the late Nelson Mills and divorced wife of Walter Hopkins, of St. Clair.
