Narrative

Family members recall that Helen had married (to a man with the surname Johnson), but may have divorced and had no children. Her indexed obituary mentions only siblings and parents, with no husband or children as either preceding her in death or surviving her.

ADDENDUM: Further discussion with living family members indicate that she was married to a Cy Johnson, lived in Illinois, and moved back up to Wisconsin after his death. I've not yet located any information about her marriage or her life afterwards.
