He was rushed to the Maryville hospital, where he lived until Tuesday about 4 o'clock.

[STOOPS, OPAL]
New Market Herald (New Market, Iowa), Thursday, December 2, 1920, [p. 1]
One of the saddest accidents in the history of Hopkins took place last Monday evening at about 5:30 when Opal Stoops, the 6-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stoops, was almost instantly killed when one wheel of the big Nash car belonging to Frank Andrews passed over the child's body. Mr. Andrews is one of the owners of the Saints garage in this city, but the accident took place at his residence, the Oliver Lewis property, a block east of the Linville hotel. It was dusk when he went to get his car and no children were in sight when he entered the garage. After he entered the garage, his mother noticed two of the Stoops children run across the yard, and fearing they might be run over, left the house to warn them to keep out of the way, but before she had time to give the warning, the fearful accident had occurred, taking place on the parking south of the cement walk running east and west; the left front wheel of the heavy car passed over the child's body just below the ribs. No bones were broken and after the little girl was picked up by Mr. Andrews, she spoke a few words, calling for her mother who was down town. The child was carried by Mr. Andrews to its home, just north of the Andrew home, and two doctors were called, both reaching the home in a very short time after the accident took place, but the child was beyond the aid of human hands, passing away in about fifteen minutes after being hurt and before the mother reached home. The heavy machine simply crushed the life out of the child without breaking a bone or mutilating the body. – Hopkins Journal
