Helen E. [Merchant] Jones never used her middle name during her life time and neither her birth, baptism, death, nor obituary deviate beyond the initial "E." Her middle name was long thought to be the given-name of her mother, Elice.
A 2018 discovery of a cache of family genealogical information from three different sources at different times early in the 20th C., including Helen herself and now in the collection of this memorial creator, indicates her name was "Helen Elizabeth Jones." (1, 2, 3)
