• Notes

  Walter and Helen lived for many years on farms, first at West Potsdam, then at Diana, near Carthage, New York. Later they moved to a farm about a mile from Potsdam on the Sissonville road, their two boys attending school in Potsdam. They sold the farm and bought a house in Potsdam, near the Fair Grounds. Their sons, William and Arthur, left home to settle in the west, and in Feb. 1898, they sold their property in Potsdam to join their sons. The father went to live with Arthur at Leon, Iowa, but Helen, hearing that William and his wife, Mabel were going to Alaska, attracted by the Yukon gold rush, refused to let them go without her. The trip, however, proved to be too much for her, and she died at Lake Tagish, Northwest Territory, on May 6, 1898. She is buried in West Potsdam, New York.
