There is room on it for other family members but there is no information. I actually talked to the cemetery's curator today. We both looked at the Helm headstone and he agreed. He says that she is buried there but that her information was never put on the headstone and that happens occassionally. I will post the pictures of the Helm upright headstone that you probably already have seen. Sorry...I know that's dissapointing."
