Hello,

I'm looking for information or anyone connected to Helen Yager Benson, formerly of Columbus, Ohio.

Helen was born in Ohio on about 24 Sep 1931. Her parents were Barton Yager and Mary Loeffel, also from Columbus. She had siblings Mary Margaret Yager (Butterworth) and Barton Yager (jr). Helen Yager married Francis Benson although I'm not exactly sure when this was. They had children Theresa M. Benson, Timothy R. Benson and Kathleen Benson. I believe the family was from Columbus, Ohio but I am not entirely sure.

Helen Yager Benson died at a young age in Columbus, Ohio on 19 Dec 1965. She was only 34 years old. Her obituary was published in the Columbus Dispatch the day after her passing. It read as follows:

Helen L. Benson, age 34, residence, 1760 1/2 E. Main St., Sunday. Survived by husband, Francis; daughters, Theresa M. and Kathleen; son, Timothy R.; parents, Barton W. Yager Sr., Mrs. Mary Yager; brother, Barton W. Jr.; sister Mrs. Mary Margaret Butterworth. Friends may call EGAN-RYAN FUNERAL HOME, 403 E. Broad St. Arrangements announced later. 20-21.

I'm searching for more information because I believe I share a common ancestor with this family on the Loeffel line. Mary Loeffel was the daughter of August Loeffel and Margaret Noonan. Margaret Noonan was the daughter of Michael Noonan and Mary Kane. I believe that Mary Kane was the sister of my great great great grandmother Ellen Kane Welch, formerly of Circleville, Ohio.

Any further information would be most appreciated. I have a great deal of information on our common ancestry from Circleville, Ohio and would be most interested in sharing info. Thanks for reading and I look forward to your reply.

many thanks!
