SEEKS SISTER

II has come to me from several
sources that I had a sister named
Helen Waterman. She was born
about a year and a half before
me. l have been trying to find
out for some time how l can find
out if she is still alive and, if so,
where she is.
1t is my assumption that she
was either adopted after my
mothers death or taken by the
Millers of South Haven, Mich. l
don't know If she knew she had
a brother. as she was very young
at the time OF all these hap
penings.
