Given that Helen was alive through much of my life it is unfortunate I have so little in terms of information or photographs of her. On the other hand, her daughter Eileen is the one grandchild of Jessie and Nels of which I have the most memories.

Helen Bernice Findahl (Windom) was the second daughter born to Jessie & Nels after her brother Gordon (shown on the left) and before Virgil (shown on the right).
Judging by the ages of the children here, I would think this was taken during the later part of the first decade of the 1900s |

Brother Gordon, Mother Jessie, Sister-in-law Florence (holding niece Betty), Helen Windom, husband Willard Windom, Gordon's wife Martha, Brother Harry & his wife Mabel.

Photo from mid 1920s taken in Galesburg, IL. I think it's the earliest photo we have of husband Willard.
