Hide Profile

Helen Sherman was born in Jamestown in 1892 and lived since 1910 at 624 Concord in Boulder. She lost most of her hearing as the result of typhoid fever, which she caught when 6 years old, and lost it completely when 18 as the result of another illness. Since childhood she had psychic abilities, and earned a living as an adult giving tea leaf readings.

Willa B. Sherman came to Colorado Territory in 1874 and was a miner. Anna Blackwell came with her parents to Colorado in 1874 and settled at Pella. Willa and Anna were married and had two children, Mary Helen (Mrs. Jack Gilman) and Lilla ( Mrs. Mert Tower).
