I had also thought of a possible switch to Wright, but didn't find her anywhere (I tried searches without using a surname, as well).

Most of the information is off a bit from your Helen, but since I do not see this person in 1920, there is a slight chance it could be your Helen:
1930 Philadelphia census
Roomer with Chas F Brandt and wife Alice was
Roeseler Helen, roomer, age 38, widowed, married at age 25, born Pennsylvania as were parents.  Occupation: Bookkeeper.
1816 Cayuga? St (Cannot read image.  Prior page looks like Cayuga)

Was your Helen a bookkeeper in 1910?  This is the main reason I mentioned Helen Roeseler (because she was a bookkeeper).  While your Helen wasn't a widow in 1930, she could have stated that she was?  (Twice I've found separated women stating they were widowed and not separated!)  Anyway, the above is probably not your Helen, but I thought I would let you know about it.

Could be Helen in 1930 census (perhaps person giving details made mistakes)- in 1910 she was living at home and listed as a book-keeper in coffee house. Will certainly keep a note of 1930 one since I don't have any other possibilites at the moment. Thanks again.
