Biography

Hilda Orilla May Green was born in the fall of 1871, the daughter of Jonathan Heskitt and Lucinda Adalade (Rouse) Green, in Buffalo County, Wisconsin. When she was about 8 years old her parents moved the family to Southern California where Hilda was raised to adulthood.

On August 31, 1898, Hilda married William Richard Codd, the son of Thomas and Mary (Chamberlain) Codd, in Riverside, California. William was born in England and had moved with his family to America at some point around 1887-88. Hilda and William initially settled in Riverside County but by 1902 they had moved to Long Beach in Los Angeles County, California. Hilda and William had seven children as follows:

Irene Estel (Codd) Ward/McGuire (1899–1970)

George William Codd (1900–1932)

Gladys Louise (Codd) Herren (1902–1969)

Charles Richard Codd (1903–1962)

Bernie Alfred Codd (1905–1976)

Edith Evelyn (Codd) Bullock (1907–1999)

Jack LeRoy Codd (1911–1974)

With the children all born the family moved to Downey, and finally to Paramount, both cities in Los Angeles County, California. William worked as a teamster for a transfer company up until the 1920 US Census when no occupation is listed for him. Apparently Hilda and William's sons who were still living at home through 1941 supported the family.

William died in 1941 at 72 years of age while Hilda lived on until 1952 when she passed at 79 years old. She spent her last years living with her daughter Edith Evelyn (Codd) Bullock and her family. No burial records have been found for either Hilda or William.
