Hopkins Granary

Here is a Blue Cross Blue Shield ad from March 1984 of John and Elizabeth Hopkins of Hopkins Granary in Milton, DE. When I worked at the Delaware Coast Line Railroad, I put 4 covered hoppers in their siding (accessed by going through Draper King Cole) one time & then we didn't do too much after that move.
