From the Jacobsen Genealogy of Anna Jacobsen Carlson (1896-1981, FIndagrave Memorial #160816174):
"Fifth daughter and eighth child of Asums and Anna Jacobsen, was born at Frastrup, Denmark December 13, 1877 and baptized when still an infant. Watching and caring for her day to day they grew to love her dearly, but she was taken with diphtheria and passed away January 12, 1879 at the tender age of two years.
Anna again turns to poet James Whitcomb Riley and his poem "The Lovely Child" to finish her bio for Helena,
"THE LOVELY CHILD
Lilies are both pure and fair,
Growing 'midst the roses there—
Roses, too, both red and pink,
Are quite beautiful, I think.
But of all bright blossoms—best—
Purest—fairest—loveliest,—
Could there be a sweeter thing
Than a primrose, blossoming?"
