 Includes NotesNotes for Helen Katherine Gates:
Helen and her sister Pauline were born on the family farm outside of Colburn, In. They attended the Colburn school until high school and then went to Buck Creek High School in Buck Creek, Indiana using the inter urban transportation system. They were baptized and attended in Zion Lutheran Church in Colburn Indiana.
She met George Martin at school and they were eventually married in Vincennes, Indiana. Five children were fruits of the marriage. Many changes in their lives brought many different occupations. Starting out as farmers, too poor to buy a tractor, they husked corn in their rented fields with horse and flat-bed wagon for the first two years of marriage. During this time, Helen would trade eggs and chickens to the Huckster Man for the necessities which included pots and pans. Those same Wear-ever pan would be used until she died. Among other occupations were restaurant owners, co-owners of the Buck Creek Elevator, Meat Processing Plant, and back to farmers.
After George's death, Helen moved to Lafayette and worked at the Green Frog at the Tippecanoe Mall.
