Dorothy Mae “Dolly” Lippman was born and raised in Philadelphia. She married Edward Vanhart Hardaway in Philadelphia in 1928. Their son, (unnamed) Hardaway was born in Dallas, Texas in 1929.
At the time of the 1930 Federal Census in Philadelphia, Edward and Dorothy lived with their son, William D. Hardaway at 1602 Diamond St. Edward was employed as a District Manager for the Telegraph Company.
The census indicates that in 1935, Dorothy lived in New Orleans, Louisiana and her son, Billy lived in Hammond, Louisiana. Coincidentally, Dolly’s mother, Florence Lippman, also resided in Hammond until almost the time of her death in 1939.
The judgement of divorce to Dorothy from Edward was reported in the New Orleans Times Picayune on 21 Jan 1937
Sometime after her divorce was granted, but before January, 1939, Dorothy Mae (Lippman Hardaway) married Leonard Carnegie “Jug” Cotton
Sometime between March 1940 and April 1942, Dolly’s husband, Jug, adopted her son William, and his name became, forever, Bill Duane Cotton.
Obviously, Dolly was quick to involve herself in Gulfport Society. Not only was Dolly involved in Gulfport Society and the Gulfport Women’s Club, but she was also an officer of the PTA and the Welcome Wagon, and involved in many volunteer and charitable activities, such as the USO and food drives for the poor and cash drives for the war effort. Doll was also a leader at the Gulf Park Girls Camp. Of course, she still made time to attend parties and other social affairs, and spend time with friends.
