  Attended Pittman Center School. Married in Sevierville Baptist Church by Rev. W. J. Beasley. Helen walked from the home site (2-3 miles) Copeland Creek to Pittman Center to school. Later they rode in a horse drawn wagon driven by Penson Whaley. She raised and sold beans and tobacco, kept the farm going and three kids in school. She cut and sold pulpwood, swinging a saw and axe along side her dad. She acted as a 4-H Club leader while her kids were in school. Helen worked in Gatlinburg as a maid, cashier and dining room manager. Helen is known throughout the community as a hard worker and by her three children as the best mom in the world. ---------- Reference: "Sevier County, Tennessee and Its Heritage", 1994, p 305, 309.
