Hildegarde Hopkins (Lupprian) was born October 25, 1896 in Richmond, Staten Island, New York to Charles (Carl) Albert Lupprian and Louisa (Lulu) Marscher. She was an illustrator of children’s books, including The Little Dog Who Forgot How to Bark (1946), The Little Puppy Who Would Not Mind His Mother (1949), and, notably, Nancy and Plum (1952) by the famed Washington author Betty MacDonald (1907-1958).
