Hilda was the Daughter of James Franklin & Willie E Glen Burke. Some people on Ancestry give her the additional name of Pocahontas but there is no evidence that it is based on fact. I think the name came as a result of a photo which makes her appear in Native American attire. I believe that the attire was due to some of the costumes people would wear for photo sessions at carnivals, and places like Atlantic City She was married to Benjamin Franklin Crawford. Together they had the following children:

Ernest S Crawford
1919 – 1996
Theodosia Geneva Crawford
1921 –
Clyde Crawford
1923 –
Dorothy Crawford
1924 –
Winifred Crawford
1928 –
Aldine Crawford
1930 –
