I'm looking for a lady named Helen Gilbert-- the article I have said she was the superintendent of nurses at Keokuk Area Hospital.

I was trying to find out if she was ever married, and what her married name was. A helpful fellow genealogist sent me a bunch of articles from the 40s she found doing a name search online, and it never mentioned a husband, and kept calling her Gilbert (her maiden name). So I suspect she may never have married.

Keokuk Area Hospital was absorbed into another hospital system, and I contacted them recently, but the personnel woman there was no help at all. Evidently, they've destroyed all the records that are that old.

I found this record in SSDI that sounds like her. If you could dig up an obituary to see if this is the right one, I would be your bud for life!

HELEN GILBERT b: 19 Mar 1897 d: Dec 1975 age: 78
last residence: Waterloo, Black Hawk, IA 50703 Iowa 479-30-1973
