Nellie M Hopkins

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Jan 1920, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, United States
• Census: 4 Jan 1920, Ward 13, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, United States
• Census: 21 Apr 1930, Ward 25, St. Louis, Missouri

Notes:

Although there are many women named “Nellie” with a daughter named “Rose” listed in the 1920 US Federal Census for Missouri and Kansas, numerous facts indicate that our Nellie was in fact married to Charles D. Corp and living in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri. First the father and mother of the Nellie listed both in source [US-1920-2s] and in source [US-1930-1j] were born in Kentucky and North Carolina, respectively. In addition, the ages of Nellie’s daughters match and Nellie is listed as their mother in both of their original US Social Security applications. Consequently, the fact that Nellie M. Masten from [US-1930-1j] and Nelly M. Corp from [US-1920-2s] are, in fact, the same person, is well supported.

Residence:
2701 East 51st Street
