Hi
We have been unable to find the death, and also the two marriages, of this lady despite exhausting the resources that we have access to. So we now turn to RootsChat, in hope!
Helena Christina HERSE was born Galway, Saratoga, New York in c1875 to Heinrich Michael HERSE & Marie RASMUSSEN.
She firstly married Fred STANDHART/STANHART before 1898 as that was when their only child Christian STANDHART was born, in Gloversville NY.
Mother and son travelled to California in 1914 followed in 1916 by Fred who returned to Gloversville with Christian. We must assume from that that there was a break up in the family. Family stories say that Helena stayed in Los Angeles.
She appears in the US Directories in 1918 in LA as Mrs Helen STANDHART and in the 1920 census with the same name.
Somewhere she has linked with an Arthur (Art) KLEINE/KLEIN/KLINE but we can find no marriage. That info comes from a tree on Ancestry. However there is no sign of her as STANDHART In the 1930 census but there is, residing in LA, a Helen KLINE wife of Charles A KLINE. The census shows her as born NY and parents born Denmark which is correct.
A family story says she ended her life in LA in a mental institution.
That is all we know and we hope that we can be assisted to find both her marriages and her death please.
Cheers and thank you
