Jeff, I have a History of detroit, that also has H.P. in it, I will try and find it, but give me a few day's.Judge Woodward named the street after himself, and when called on it, he said the street went towards the wood's, so therefor, it was Woodward.Patty Duke's granma lived on Cottage Grove, and didn't come to her funeral, my dad was a pallbearer.
