| Biography/History: | Helen Alice Stewart (1913-2004) was the youngest of 4 siblings (Isabel, Charles Burton, Dorothy, Helen). Their father was a school superintendent, and the family followed his career, moving from Wyoming to Montana, then to Clayton WA (c.1920), to Hanford WA, and back to Clayton. Helen graduated from Deer Park High School in 1931; she may have attended business school in Spokane before following her sisters to California, where she married Beverly Dupont Watters in 1937. They lived around the country while he was in the service, then settled in Mill Valley north of San Francisco. Daughter Mary was born in 1946 or 1947; Beverly died in 1956. Helen worked as secretary for a safe company in California until her retirement and probably remained in California until her death. Daughter Mary died of multiple sclerosis before 1998. |
