My great grandma Hopkins was born as Louisa Todd, but was known as 'Pommy' to our family.
Pommy was married to John William Hopkins in 1916 in Hoboken, NJ. Pommy was a nurse at the time and John was a travelling salesman. They moved to Illinois and had two sons, John and George, and then settled in Detroit for the rest of their lives.
She was widowed at a relatively young age and continued her nursing career until she retired at an old age. She tried living with my family in Colorado for a short time, but the high altitude forced her to return to Detroit where she lived several more years until she passed away at the age of 96.
