Provenance
Bud Hopson died 7 January 1968. Upon his death, his wife, Marjorie Cato Hopson, boxed all Bud's railroad belongings and kept them in a closet in her home. In 1996, Marjorie suffered a stroke and entered a rehabilitative hospital in Bossier City, LA. In 1997, while absent from her home, three teenagers broke into and lived in her home for several months. Trying to hide evidence of their inhabitation, they attempted to burn the house using many of Bud's papers, including T&P railroad papers and his birth and death certificates, his conductor's uniform, and a bedspread. The teens closed all the doors, which depleted the fire's oxygen supply, and limited the fire to the one bedroom. Marjorie's grandson and his wife salvaged what documents, papers, and conductor's cap they could from the debris and have had them in their possession since 1997.
