Hi Jim, I was checking some stuff on Family Tree this morning and noticed you didn't have some info about Helen Torgeson, or maybe you haven't entered it yet. If not here's what I have. There is a monument in the Mindoro cemetery that says:
HELEN Oct. 8 1864 -May 6, 1897.
I took a picture last time we were up there. Nancy
