Mary Baylitz Hopkins and Family


This photo shows in the back row, Lizzie Balitz Martin and Mary Balitz Hopkins and in the front row are Henrietta Wolff Balitz, Fred Balitz and Carl Balitz. Mary Balitz married Sedgewick Hopkins in 1878. The Balitz family came from a small village named Nieder Wutzow in Prussia (Germany), now Poland. They came to the United States in 1869 by ship from Hamburg and settled in Wisconsin before moving on to Michigan. They lived in Platte Township, Benzie Co, MI. This photo was taken around 1880.
