Margret Hopkins
I've "rescued" an old photograph of Margret HOPKINS which was taken at the Chas. Olin Studio in Cassopolis, MI sometime in the 1890's. Margret appears to be about 4 -5 years old at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family:
Margaret Adelaide HOPKINS was b. 8 Jan 1889 in Cass Co. MI to parents Willis Duane HOPKINS (1859-1947) and Frances TURRILL (1860-1931). Margaret was one of 6 children born to this couple including, Blanche Amelia; Alfred Turrill; Leonie; Margaret Adelaide; and Helen Caroline; and Cora Louise HOPKINS, all born between 1881 and 1894. Margaret died 26 Nov 1967 in South Bend, IN and is buried in the Prospect Hill Cemetery in Cassopolis, MI.
Census records provide the following details:
