Census note:
1880 HELMS HELEN Houston County TX 234 E. D. 22 Federal Population Schedule TX 1880
Helen's youngest daughter, Sadie, had just turned two years old when she passed away. The
chore of caring for the children, ages 2, 4 and 7, fell upon her oldest daughter, Dovie
who was eleven years old. Doc Helms eventually remarried in 189, when Dovie was 14 years
old. As I understand it, there wasn't much of an age difference between Dovie and the new
wife. There was much resentment. |
