few days now.
Mrs. Helenbrand attended Wil
lamette university in 1872 and
1873.
Following their marriage at -a
spot somewhere between Liberty
and Commercial on State street
by Rev. P. S. Knight, the couple
resided In Salem. After three years
they homesteaded in Tillamook
county and owned a great deal ot
property around Hebo where tbeir
only living daughter still resides.
In 1913 Mr. and Mrs. Helen
brand moved to Salem and have
been here ever since.
Mrs. Helenbrand is very proud
of her father's bible which she
