Notes
findagrave:
Helen Patterson was “a charming child and gifted girl” with an “unusual gift for music.” 
“Of very few is it ever so manifest as with her that her cup of bliss was filled. To those 
who knew her best she often seemed the embodiment of joy. Yet her character was 
lacking in no elements, either of sensitiveness or firmness. Her steadfast purposes 
were always for the right, and her judgments of people were keen and discriminating.” 
–From the Illinois Wesleyan Argus, June 1, 1914 p.5 

She married Professor Elwyn C. Parlin in the summer of 1913 in Connecticut and 
moved to Illinois with her husband in September of 1913. She died in childbirth at 
Brokaw Hospital in Bloomington, Illinois May 18, 1914 and was sent home to 
Connecticut with her infant son in the same casket.
