Notes

Note N39

We're not sure what she was originally named, but Nellie is on the record of her marriage to Fred L. Durkee in 1900. Later, she called herself Helen. The record of her marriage to George S. Hayden in 1907 shows her as Helen.

Her niece, Lois Palmer Macintosh, wrote in an undated letter: "What my aunt's name was when she headed the Hall Galleries [the expensive china section of a local department store, Steiger's, in Springfield, MA] is something else. It could have been Mrs. Durkee (1st husband) or Mrs.Hayden (2nd husband). Her first name kept changing with the times. She was Christened "Nellie" but thought that sounded like a cow's name and became Helen. Later she changed to Ellen. I think Nellie or Helen Hayden would be close."

Not in 1940 Census unless she changed the last name from Hayden.
