Obituary from FindAGrave.com:
     The Daily Local News, West Chester, Chester County, Pa. - September 14, 1916
     Yesterday morning the family of Mrs. Sara Hoopes, who lives on East Lancaster avenue, was greatly shocked to fin the body of their daughter, Susan Hoopes, lying in an out kitchen, apparently dead. Word was at once telephoned to a physician, who at once responded, but on his arrival pronounced that life was extinct. On investigation a gas jet was found to have been left open on the stove. The body was placed upon a bed and the Coroner was at once notified. On the arrival of Coroner Garrett he viewed the situation, but did not empanel a jury. The information given by the family and a cousin who was staying in the Hoopes home was that Susan Hoopes got up about six o'clock and told her mother she would go and feed the chickens. Shortly after a colored girl, who works in the family, went down and smelled gas. She notified the cousin who came downstairs and investigated, when she found Miss Hoopes, as above stated.
     The deceased was in her 61st year, and was a woman of remarkable business ability. For many years she was a clerk in the Downingtown National Bank, when the Bank was located in the old building. For about 25 years she was associated with the firm of Jones, Haines & Cadbury, Philadelphia, as Secretary of the Society of Friends in the East Caln Meeting.
     HOOPES- At her home in Downingtown, Pa., on the 13th inst., Susan T. Hoopes, in the 62d year of her age.
     Funeral from her late residence on Sixth-day, the 15th inst., at 2:30 p.m. Carriages will meet the 12:40 train from Broad Street Station upon its arrival at Downingtown, also the trolley leaving West Chester at 1:50. Interment private.
Ibid - Susan T. Hoopes
     Susan T. Hoopes, whose death notice appears in this paper, was the daughter of the late Townsend and Sallie T. Hoopes. She was born at the old Downingtown homestead, the birth place of her mother in 1855, and with the exception of a short residence in Laurence, Kansas, and in Harford County, Md., Downingtown has always been her home.
     For a period of 25 years she was identified with the Haines, Jones & Cadbury Company, Philadelphia, and for several years she most acceptably filled the responsible position of Treasurer of the corporation.
     She is survived by her mother and two brothers, Frank T. and Joseph D., who, with her uncle, Joseph R. Downing, President of the Downingtown National Bank, form the home family.
     Deceased was a lifelong member of the Society of Friends.
