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.
