California Connections

Helena (O'Sullivan) (Councilman) Mueller (1852-1895)

What I've learned about the short life of my great-great aunt, Helena O'Sullivan, continued.

Fact 5: Helena gave birth to a son, George Sullivan Councilman, 1874

Helena's son George, age 6, is listed in the 1880 census.  According to his World War I draft registration, he was born on January 18, 1874.

Fact 6: Helena gave birth to a daughter, Essie Helena Councilman, 1875

Fact 7: Helena's daughter Essie Helena died, 1877

Helena's daughter, Essie Helena, died on June 28, 1877 in San Francisco.  She was age 2 years and 3 months.  She would have been born in April, 1875.  Her death notice, below, appeared in the Daily Alta California on July 1, 1877.




Fact 8: Helena gave birth to a daughter, Eva Councilman, 1877

Helena's daughter Eva, age 3, is listed in the 1880 census.  In the 1900 census, as Eva Staugh, her birth date is given as February 1877.

I'll have more on Helena next week. I found out just yesterday that her granddaughter Elfrieda (Mann) Campello died in 2002 and her wake was held at a funeral home right around the corner from me.  I hope to locate some of her descendants.
