General Notes: Clotilde Elizabeth Lopes was the wife of an Army doctor who lived a life of relative luxury till the sudden and untimely death of her husband at the age of 49. She stoically endeavored to bring up her five young children with the same standard she was used to and she did this singlehandedly. She was particular about her children's education and sent them to the best schools. Besides, she was an excellent seamstress and sourced patterns from France to tailor her daughter's dresses herself. Now having to manage only on her husband's pension she continued to stay in a beautiful bungalow 'Chiselhurst' on Wood Street in Bangalore and made ends meet by operating a horse carriage business and keeping paying guests. Among the paying guests were Alphonse Lopes, Frank Muthanna and Clarence Peters. These gentlemen 'overstayed', subsequently marrying three of her daughters! She remained at 'Chiselhurst' as the matriach of an extended family with 19 grandchildren till her death in 1955.
