Unclear why this post-it note was included in the online file...keeping it in case it relates later on. Perhaps it pertains to sister Helen, and was simply posted on wrong person's datasheet.

Helen Litherland was my great grandmother. She was born 12 Dec 1879, in Illinois, probably Grayville, but her death certificate shows Litchfield, which is a possibility. She married William Jefferson Roberts of Wabash Co., IL, sometime prior to May 1899, when my grandmother, Beatrice Alma Roberts, was born. Sometime after the birth of twins William Jefferson Roberts, Jr., and Sutter E. Roberts, born May 1902, Helen divorced and never remarried. She relocated in the 1920s with her daughter and her husband, Maurice M. Bloom, to Meadville, PA, then to Saegertown, Crawford Co., PA, where Helen died 21 Aug 1960. She is buried in Roselawn Cem, Saegertown, PA. (From her death certicate and records of Hunter Funeral Home, Saegertown, PA)

Frances married Thomas STEAD on 30 Sep 1896 in IL. [Group Sheet]
