Walker, Helen M. (Helen Mary), 1891-1983

Helen M. Walker collected several nineteenth-century manuscript items, including an account book which may have belonged to an ancestor, Elisha Walker, and an album of confessions entitled "Mental Photographs." The album contains personal questions about favorite items as well as expectations of self and spouse which have been answered by both males and females, possibly by the members of a club in Ashtabula, Ohio. The account book, also for the eastern Western Reserve, contains numerous entries for farm expenses and community building.
