 Includes NotesNotes for Cora Myrtle Helterbran:
It is believed that Myrtle was born to Mollie Davidson Helterbran in 1881. When Myrtle was about 15 Mollie married James Riley and Myrtle "took" the name of Riley. It is unknown if there was a formal adoption. There is no research at this time to support this theory but stories from family members suggest that it is accurate. No one seems to have any information on Mollie's husband Helterbran. THERE ARE AT LEAST 18 DIFFERENT SPELLINGS FOR THE NAME HELTERBRAN. But when Cora Myrtle Helterbran applied for a marriage licence 12-23-1897 she used the name and spelling I have used here.
