We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Ora Hopkins was born in Yell County, Arkansas, in November 1902, to Jim and Nancy Miller Hopkins, the 10th of 11 children.  She lost her dad before she turned 8. She was orphaned at 14, having lost her mother and two older brothers to the Spanish flu epidemic. Just before her 19th birthday, she married Odes Brunson.
