Individual Details

Fredonia Hoffpauir

(4 Dec 1868 - 18 Apr 1952)

My Wife and I went to Ebenezer this afternoon (for 2&1/2 hrs, Julia reminds me). As we were walking through the cemetery taking pictures of all of the grandparents, as we approached another lady coming from the other direction, my wife asked if I knew who she was and I said no, but I am sure she is a relative. Well she was of course. She just happened to be the granddaughter of Mary Kiefer Dailey and Nathan Perry. The same family that we were discussing this past week. Later her mother, Opal Perry Bertrand came by and helped me decide if Malenion was or was not the sister of Mary Eudora. In discussing her mother and grandmother(Eva Dailey) I found Eva's grave, and her Aunt Fredonia "Doanie" Hoffpauir's grave, neither one is marked. Coupled with the fact that she remembered that Fredonia had a brother named Naamon, I think Malenion was the daughter of George and Margrete Hoffpauir, that Felton list in his post of 2/29/00 from the 1880 census for Vermilion Parish.
If the above is true, where does George come from?
From the 1880 Vermilion Parish census:

Margrete 52
Malenian 17
Mildred 15
Ellen 13
Fredonia 11
Naamon 9
