George Irving Hopkins (1849-1935) was born in Foster, Rhode Island, and
died in Manchester, New Hampshire. In 1874, he married Emma Curtis Hopkins, who was a
great influence on the New Thought movement. He later divorced her in 1900, citing
abandonment. Hopkins went on to marry two more times before his death (Gertrude Hannah
Brooks in 1910; Daisy E. Flanders in 1926). He graduated from Brown University in 1875
and was a high school math teacher, department head, principal, and superintendent of
schools at various points in his life in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. There is
no record of George Irving Hopkins studying with Mary Baker Eddy or joining the Church
of Christ (Scientist).
