Pumpkin Bread

The pumpkin bread is a very old recipe from my husbands Aunt Evvy. She was a wonderful lady and lived to be 102!!! Years ago she wrote down several of her recipes and gave them to me, this was one of them. I added the streusel crumb topping. This is SO delicious!!!

1 can pumpkin puree
