Note: Helen's brother Norman died in 1909 aged 18. That would have been a terrible sadness for the family. Perhaps that is why the family moved from Hartford, West Virginia north to McMechan, West Virginia not long after Norman's death. Helen was about 15 yrs at the time. Until then, Helen had lived in the Hartford area which abounded in both Brown and Eggenschuillar relatives.
