Born in Adams County, PA. Lived in Lancaster in the early years. Moved to Lititz, married Bill (Wm) and lived in a log cabin Bill built in Popular Grove (RD #2). Bill had 2 grown children from his first marriage, but Helen had no children. When asked why she married Bill, Helen answered, "He took me dancing!"

Another family story: When Helen died, she was in Lititz, Lancaster County, PA. She was buried a couple of counties to the west, out near Gettysburg, in a family plot. The hearse driver and minister were early, so they decided to take a tour of the Gettysburg Battlefields. We often smile when telling the story of Helen's last adventure!
