DESCRIPTION

Helen was a teenager in Brooklyn during the 1910s. Her photo album gives us a glimpse back into time, and a chance to see the young people of New York at play on the nearby beaches.

TRANSCRIPT

by Cathy Paris

HELEN NIMMO’S ALBUM

On November 13, 1898, Helen was born in Peekskill, New York. Most of her remaining years were spent in Brooklyn, New York.

Helen was the youngest of four children: Catherine Dorothea (Dot), Andrew, Robert, and finally, Helen. Helen’s parents died when she was a teenager. Dot and Andy kept the family together.

This album includes 129 pictures taken by Helen or her friends or family when Helen was a teenager.
