Added to Helen's history is her mother's sisters, Margaret (William) Corl and Mary (John) Bently of course their maiden name was Nisley. The three Nisley girls were located on 6th street where their parents had a butcher's shop in the 3500 block. This would have to be checked because the 3500 block is in Susquehanna Twp. not Harrisburg.
