bullet Helena Darrah was born on 26 Feb 1865 in Findlay, Hancock Co., Ohio. She died on 18 Jul 1953 in Duluth, St. Louis Co., Minnesota. Helena Darrah was born on the 26th of February, 1865 at Findley,
Hancock County, Ohio. She was baptized a Catholic. This was a very
interesting time to be born in the United States, as the Civil War was
ending, and reorganization had commenced. The two opponents of this war
had learned to respect the courage and resources of the other and to feel
that if Americans were reunited no foreign power could ever endanger
their liberties. The war had taken its toll in lives and money; people
were poor and sad, but the Darrah family lived in a beautiful brick house
on Walnut Hill in Dubuque, with its orchard and flower gardens and this
was a happy time for them all. Helen attended a catholic school and
afterwards a private boarding school at Davenport, Iowa, travelling there
by side-wheeler boat on the Mississippi. She had her own Indian pony and
was an avid horsewoman, as well as a "dead shot" with a gun;-
accompanying her father on occasional hunting juants in and around the
surrounding country. She excelled in archery, taught music and was very
independent, with great feeling for her family. This independent spirit
in Helen resulted in her launching herself into the business world after
the family moved to Emmetsburg, Iowa, where the family settled and her
father bought a 160 acre farm, which he rented out. One day Helen and
her sisters were expectantly awaiting their mother who was due to return
from Des Moines, where she always went twice a year to purchase
dress-goods for the girls' dresses. The trunk, a Saratoga, stood near
the open doorway as Mrs. Darrah came into the room to unpack, handing the
articles to the persons they were meant for. She was very methodical and
her household was run like clockwork. She loved to sew and with the help
of patterns made most to the girls' clothes. Helen once said that she
had seen as many as twenty-four pretty dresses lying finished upon the
bed after she had spent days sewing. At the present time she started
unpacking the trunk and handing the packages to the persons they were
intended for. She lifted a package, looked at Helen and smiled, "I have
here some material for a dress, it is brown and tan plaid and I think it
will be very becoming to you, Helen, as you are fair skinned and auburn
haired." She paused, then said, "I shall teach you to make it yourself."
Helen looked at the material, drew a thread and said, "It's half cotton
and I won't make it." "Nevertheless you'll make it," she went on. Helen
left the room without a word and walked up the stairs to her room and
began to sob with resentment for the way the world and people were
treating her. She was then seventeen. Suddenly she spied a newspaper
lying nearby. She drew it to her and began to read, "Copyist wanted by
Clerk of Courts." "Why not?" She asked herself. "Why shouldn't I answer
this ad? After all, I can write well. Why not try to make my own living?
I don't have to take what people give me;- I can buy my own clothes."
She rose, walked to the court house and applied. After showing the clerk
a sample of her penmanship, she got the job, and from then on until her
marriage, she worked in the world of business;- a thing unheard of in
those days for well-brought up females. It was there in that same court
house that she met a young attorney, John Jenswold, who was practicing
law in Emmetsburg, and this young man afterwards became her husband and
remained her husband until his death in June of 1949 at Duluth,
Minnesota, where he was a successful lawyer and Helen entered into the
social and civic life of the city, being one of the organizers of the
Associated Charities, forerunner of the Community Fund, and the Women's
Council, which worked for the widening of the city streets, municipal
garbage removal and the removal of the Point of Rocks, and served as an
officer in many of the cultural clubs of early Duluth. After working in
Emmetsburg for a year or so, Helen went to Omaha, Nebraska, where she
secured a position as registry clerk at the Omaha Post Office. During
this time she lived at the home of her Uncle Con Gallagher. This was a
happy time of her life as there was much activity at the GAllagher home,
as her uncle and aunt has eleven children, Harry, Ellen or Nell, Frank,
Clarence, Louis, Gertrude, Beatrice, Benjamin, Cathleen, and Donald, and
their home was spacious and beautiful and there was the advantage of
wealth there besides the fact that Omaha in those days was growing
rapidly and Helen had the advantage of seeing the best in opera and the
theatre.

All in a Mother's Day - "Full of years, Mrs. Jenswold Enjoys Each Day" by
Mrs. C.A. Purbaugh

Mother's Day in most families is a gala occasion when Mom is smothered
with attention by her children. But few mothers are living today who can
enjoy as many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren as
87-year-old Mrs. John Jenswold, Duluth.

Petite, green-eyed Mrs. Jenswold shook her head firmly in
disapproval of special days for mothers. "Every day is special for me.
You might as well live while you're living--you're going to be a long
time dead." And every day is a special day for her, for Mrs. Jenswold
has found the secret of happiness: To enjoy each day to the fullest, to
give of her rich experience to others and to share her happiness not only
with her family but her host of friends and acquaintances.
Almost a century of memories become stories for the eight
grandchildren and the five great-grandchildren. "I shall have three more
great-grandchildren by September, you know," twinkled Mrs. Jenswold.
Mrs. Jenswold was born in Findlay, Ohio as Helena Darrah, daughter
of Major and Mrs. H.C. Darrah. The major was a Civil War veteran and
direct descendant of Lydia Darrah, herione of the American revolution.
As a young girl Helena showed the determination and courage that has
never failed her in her long and eventful life.
There was a time Helena's mother, on a shopping trip to Davenport,
Iowa, carefully bought and carried home in her saratoga trunk a length of
wool plaid for a dress for Helena. Miss Helena didn't like the colors of
the plaid. She didn't like the texture of the material. So she decided
she wouldn't wear a dress made of the hateful stuff. And this decision
was the deciding factor which launched our young lady on a business
career. "I shall take a position, earn my own money and spend it for
clothes I like." All this at at time when no carefully reared young lady
considered the business world a suitable place for her to inhabit. Miss
Darrah got a job a as a copyist in the register of deeds office in the
court house of Emmetsburg, Iowa. She was so successful that later she
became registry clerk in the post office at Omaha.
Mrs. Jenswold came to Duluth in 1888 as the bride of John Jenswold,
young Iowa attorney. Young John hung out his shingle, and in later years
became one of the most prominent lawyers in the state of Minnesota.
Young Mrs. Jenswold was an ardent horsewoman and a marksman, but the
only form of sport she could find upon arriving in Duluth was a
basketball team, which she promptly joined. She also became a member of
Mrs. Weston's watercolor class. and today her watercolors are prized
possessions of her family.
Mrs. Jenswold had been a teacher of music in her home town so she
was soon in demand in musical circles of Duluth, and early contributed
her part to that phase of the city's culture.
She was active in the Women's Relief Corps in which she held office
for many years. This busy woman also joined the Saturday Club, a
literary club of early Duluth, and as usual held office in this
organization. Mrs. Jenswold was one of the organizers of the Associated
Charities which preceded the Community Chest. She was also a member of
the Duluth Women's council and served on the streets and alleys committee
campaigning for the widening of the streets of downtown Duluth, municipal
garbage removal, and the removal of the Point of Rocks. She was an
organizer of St. Michael's Church at Lakeside and did considerable work
in the American Red Cross during World War I.
Mrs. Jenswold dearly loves to travel and thinks flying is the
perfect means of transportation. Four years ago she flew to Monterey,
Mexico, where at 83, she rode a burro up the mountainside. She flew to
San Antonio, Texas, three years ago to see her son and his family. She
flew to New York City the next year to spend Christmas with her daughter,
Helen, and her granddaughter Natalie. She saw several Broadway shows,
spent an evening at the Metropolitan Opera, made all the art exhibits and
outstanding galleries.
This past winter she flew alone to New York City for the wedding of
her granddaughter, Natalie, to Leon McConnell, and returned alone by
plane to Duluth after the wedding.
Mrs. Jenswold had two sons: John D. Jenswold, Duluth attorney; and
Henry C. Jenswold, with the post office in San Antonio, Texas; one
daughter: Helen J. Dahle, wife of the late Senator C.A. Dahle; eight
grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Jenswold lives in her home at 5820 London Road where all her
children were born and reared. There these bright spring days you may
find her cutting her lawn, digging in her flower garden, playing her
piano, entertaining her friends, or preparing for another plane trip.

Parents: Henry Clement Darrah and Catherine Gallagher.

She was married to Johannes Jensvold on 12 Oct 1889 in Emmetsburg, Palo Alto Co., Iowa. Children were: Eva Jenswold, John Darrah Jenswold, Helen Catherine Jenswold, Henry Clement Jenswold.

bullet Henry Clement Darrah was born on 28 Jun 1841 in Findlay, Hancock Co., Ohio. He died on 19 Dec 1928 in Los Angeles Co., California. H.C. Darrah, Grandma Jenswold's father, was born at Eden of Findley,
Ohio, the son of John and Martha Moore Darrah, the latter dying when
Henry was a little boy. At the age of seventeen, his father having been
married again, and Henry having no particular love for the second wife,
his stepmother, he ran away from home and sought the union lines where he
enlisted in the army. In the battle of Wilson's Creek, Missouri, during
one of the fiercest small battles of the was where his General Lyons was
killed, he lost his left arm. After his marriage he lived on Grand View
Avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, with his family. About 1879 or 1880 he sold his
home and moved to Emmetsburg, Iowa, where he bought a home in the city
anmd a 260 acre farm, which he rented out. He travelled for the
Studebaker Wagon Factory of South Bend, Indiana for years, his territory
being from Iowa to Mexico, which at the time took three months to cover.
Before marriage he lived at the A.A. Cooper's home in Dubuque. He owned
an excursion boat on the Mississippi River named the "Maid of the Mist".
He also ran and owned a photograph gallery. He was Inspector of Liquors
and Internal Revenue Collector and went into the new capitol of Des
Moines as Sargeant at Arms of the Senate under Governor Larrabee. During
the gold rush he went to Alaska which adventure proved unsuccessful. He
made some money however amking trips to San Francisco and buying carloads
of horses and selling them in Alaska. He was a great hunter and once
killed a grizzly bear of immense size.
His wife preceded him in death by several years, and at that time he
moved to Arizona, where he took up claim. On the claim next to his there
happened to be a woman who proved to be the daughter of a soldier he had
known during his war years. She was then in her sixties and became
acquainted with him by baking bread, thus involvong herself in his
favors. This finally resulted in his second marriage in 1918. He wanted
to have her meet his family in Duluth, Minnesota, and drove all the way
from California with the handicap of possessing only one arm, at the age
of eighty-three and after a short visit in Duluth returned to California,
where he shortly afterwards died and was buried next to his first wife.



letter written by Henry Darrah

Dear Daughter and Family:
I returned from the headwaters of the White River to Pyramid Harbor
a few days ago and then came here. On the way out I got about a dozen
letters from your mother, one of which enclosed a letter from you to her
in which you expressed over-anxiety on my account. This is unnecessary,
I never had better health in my life than I have had since I came to the
northwest;- haven't been sick one minute and have become entirely cured
of my old ailments, viz,- catarrh and piles. I have tramped 1500 miles
and more and weigh 150 without a coat and in moccasins. I haven't worn a
coat all summer unless when raining, have seen only one sick man all
summer. I was pleased to note your good health and that of your family.
My company of seven have eleven good mining claims, six on "Alder" and
five on "Roberts Creeks" near the Dalton Trail, some fifteen or thirty
miles from "Desar De Ash Lake". There is lots of gold in them but hard
and expensive to get out without hydraulic works. We are not able to put
in a plant, which costs from $2500 to $5000, as according to distance the
water has to be carried. If we cannot get capital interested in putting
in the plant we will sell to best advantage we can. An expert for the
Standard Oil Company who own several claims in adjoining streams has been
all over the district and recommended his people to put in a plant which
will wash out $500,000 in one season on basis of present developments.
Out claims produce from $1.00 to $1.50 per cubic yard of gravel and the
actual cost of hydraulic process is $.08 to $.10 per cubic yard, hence
our five claims on Alder will yield $100,000 by that process and the
other five claims are equally as valuable as far as prospected. I went
with one other of our company and three other men and four horses through
a trackless forest across mountains where foot of man never trod before
either white or Indian,- where rivers considered impassable. Where four
of the party were repeatedly washed from their horses and both had to
struggle for life in the icy waters (glacial streams). We crossed
glaciers never explored before and thus we penetrated an unexplored
region 180 miles farther with horses than had ever been accomplished by
white or Indian with no serious accidents, taking 77 days and then we
only returned on account of the near approach of the season of snow and
the giving out of our provisions. We made a forced march back to
Dalton's Post;- several days with only fish or berries and dried apples
and beef tea once a day. We discovered vast quantities of copper and two
coal deposits, but had not time to prospsect properly for gold. On the
trip we killed one cinnamon and one black bear, several mountain sheep,
many ptarmagans, grouses and procupines;- picked any quantity of
blueberries, cranberries, whortleberries, wild red currants as fine as we
ever raised at home;- also black ones, red cap raspberries as fine as you
ever saw, delicious dew berries, salmon berries and several other
varieties less palatable; many of these berries being on mountain summits
or plateaus 4000 and 5000 feet high. I found wild flax, oats and
potatoes and rye along trails where these grains have been used as feed.
The grasses are vast in their distribution and in quantities and quality
sufficient for millions of cattle to graze in six months of the year.
This all in a country heretofore thought to be a vast iceberg. But as to
coming here for gold I say to one and all "don't come." There is gold
here in many localities and in large quantities; some gold almost
everywhere, but it is hard to find and expensive to work. Seven thousand
deluded men are said to have gone to the Copper River and none found
gold; many died or met violent deaths. Many are said to be in a
starving condition and the government is now bringing them out again.
The same is true of the Kotychue Sound comers, several thousand having
gone there, finding little or no gold. Many thousands went to Salmon,
Pells, Stuart, Dyikeen, White, McKenzie and other rivers all or whom are
returning with the same story,- no gold. Thousands are returning with
their little savings of a lifetime gone, heart broken, foot-sore, only
hoping to be able to get home once more, a few of course have found
wealth. I saw a man yesterday who went to the Yukon on the first great
rush from Seattle. He had just enough to get him in and provision him on
season. Now he is worth $2,000,000. But even on the Dowson district
streams miners are dying like rotten sheep and I have seen numbers coming
out who had utterly failed and were begging food to subsist on the
trails. The transportation and outfitting companies are making the money
and deluding the people and the towns on the coast are booming on the
mines where gold is found. There is great excitement here now over a
second Klondyke discovered on or near Altin Lake, some six miles from
here; nearly all the businessmen have gone from here and have taken
claims from which stories for fabulous finds are being told. I have seen
several men returned with beautiful samples of gold dust and nuggets
worth from $5 to $15 each. I think I will take a trip out and see for
myself before winter closes in. I expect to remain here all winter. I
shall open an office and advertise in the east a bureau of information
charging from $1.00 to $5.00. I can save thousands of dollars and much
misery, besides making something myself. Well, with much love to you and
all.
Ever your loving father, H.C. Darrah

from California with the handicap of possessing only one arm, at the age
of eighty-three and after a short visit in Duluth returned to California,
where he shortly afterwards died and was buried next to his first wife.



letter written by Henry Darrah

Dear Daughter and Family:
I returned from the headwaters of the White River to Pyramid Harbor
a few days ago and then came here. On the way out I got about a dozen
letters from your mother, one of which enclosed a letter from you to her
in which you expressed over-anxiety on my account. This is unnecessary,
I never had better health in my life than I have had since I came to the
northwest;- haven't been sick one minute and have become entirely cured
of my old ailments, viz,- catarrh and piles. I have tramped 1500 miles
and more and weigh 150 without a coat and in moccasins. I haven't worn a
coat all summer unless when raining, have seen only one sick man all
summer. I was pleased to note your good health and that of your family.
My company of seven have eleven good mining claims, six on "Alder" and
five on "Roberts Creeks" near the Dalton Trail, some fifteen or thirty
miles from "Desar De Ash Lake". There is lots of gold in them but hard
and expensive to get out without hydraulic works. We are not able to put
in a plant, which costs from $2500 to $5000, as according to distance the
water has to be carried. If we cannot get capital interested in putting
in the plant we will sell to best advantage we can. An expert for the
Standard Oil Company who own several claims in adjoining streams has been
all over the district and recommended his people to put in a plant which
will wash out $500,000 in one season on basis of present developments.
Out claims produce from $1.00 to $1.50 per cubic yard of gravel and the
actual cost of hydraulic process is $.08 to $.10 per cubic yard, hence
our five claims on Alder will yield $100,000 by that process and the
other five claims are equally as valuable as far as prospected. I went
with one other of our company and three other men and four horses through
a trackless forest across mountains where foot of man never trod before
either white or Indian,- where rivers considered impassable. Where four
of the party were repeatedly washed from their horses and both had to
struggle for life in the icy waters (glacial streams). We crossed
glaciers never explored before and thus we penetrated an unexplored
region 180 miles farther with horses than had ever been accomplished by
white or Indian with no serious accidents, taking 77 days and then we
only returned on account of the near approach of the season of snow and
the giving out of our provisions. We made a forced march back to
Dalton's Post;- several days with only fish or berries and dried apples
and beef tea once a day. We discovered vast quantities of copper and two
coal deposits, but had not time to prospsect properly for gold. On the
trip we killed one cinnamon and one black bear, several mountain sheep,
many ptarmagans, grouses and procupines;- picked any quantity of
blueberries, cranberries, whortleberries, wild red currants as fine as we
ever raised at home;- also black ones, red cap raspberries as fine as you
ever saw, delicious dew berries, salmon berries and several other
varieties less palatable; many of these berries being on mountain summits
or plateaus 4000 and 5000 feet high. I found wild flax, oats and
potatoes and rye along trails where these grains have been used as feed.
The grasses are vast in their distribution and in quantities and quality
sufficient for millions of cattle to graze in six months of the year.
This all in a country heretofore thought to be a vast iceberg. But as to
coming here for gold I say to one and all "don't come." There is gold
here in many localities and in large quantities; some gold almost
everywhere, but it is hard to find and expensive to work. Seven thousand
deluded men are said to have gone to the Copper River and none found
gold; many died or met violent deaths. Many are said to be in a
starving condition and the government is now bringing them out again.
The same is true of the Kotychue Sound comers, several thousand having
gone there, finding little or no gold. Many thousands went to Salmon,
Pells, Stuart, Dyikeen, White, McKenzie and other rivers all or whom are
returning with the same story,- no gold. Thousands are returning with
their little savings of a lifetime gone, heart broken, foot-sore, only
hoping to be able to get home once more, a few of course have found
wealth. I saw a man yesterday who went to the Yukon on the first great
rush from Seattle. He had just enough to get him in and provision him on
season. Now he is worth $2,000,000. But even on the Dowson district
streams miners are dying like rotten sheep and I have seen numbers coming
out who had utterly failed and were begging food to subsist on the
trails. The transportation and outfitting companies are making the money
and deluding the people and the towns on the coast are booming on the
mines where gold is found. There is great excitement here now over a
second Klondyke discovered on or near Altin Lake, some six miles from
here; nearly all the businessmen have gone from here and have taken
claims from which stories for fabulous finds are being told. I have seen
several men returned with beautiful samples of gold dust and nuggets
worth from $5 to $15 each. I think I will take a trip out and see for
myself before winter closes in. I expect to remain here all winter. I
shall open an office and advertise in the east a bureau of information
charging from $1.00 to $5.00. I can save thousands of dollars and much
misery, besides making something myself. Well, with much love to you and
all.
Ever your loving father, H.C. Darrah

Dear Lena:
Will try to answer your letter and the questions as far as I know.
When Father left Ohio for Missouri I was a mere baby just two years. I
know nothing in regard to my father's parents. I do know Grandfather
Darrah made his home with my father and mother till his death. Father's
mother passed away while the children were small and all at home. Now I
am enclosing a clipping from our home paper. It is getting pretty well
worn out. You can copy what you can and then return the clipping to me.
No wonder your children loved your father. He sure was a grand man. I
sure admired him very much.
Ever Your's
Aunt Agnes Hoag

Death notice of John Darrah from newspaper in Carrollton or Dewitt,
Missouri.
John Darrah, a farmer and well known resident of this place, died
Tuesday, October 29, 1907 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Agnes Hoag of
6441 Dauphin, Kansas City, Missouri, at the ripe old age of 91 years, 2
months, and 13 days. The body will be brought here on No. 12 at 10:36
tomorrow morning and will be taken direct from the depot to the Evergreen
Cemetery for interment. He had been sick for quite a few weeks during
which on account of his advanced age his death was hourly expected. He
was born in Pennsylvania, August 16, 1816. When quite a young man he
moved with his parents to Delaware County, Ohio where he grew to
manhood. While a young man he was married to Miss Martha Moore and to
them were born two children, Jefferson and Henry who are still living. In
the spring of 1844 he moved to Iowa and in a short time his wife died.
He then returned to Hancock County, Ohio and in about two years was
married to Miss Elizabeth Moore, sister of his first wife who died a
short time after her marriage leaving no children. About the year 1851
he was again married to Miss Susannah Roller at Arcade, Hancock County,
Ohio and to them were born five children, all of whom are now living, the
mother having passed to the grave in 1901. He came to Missouri in the
spring of 1867 and settled on a farm about five miles west of Carrollton,
Missouri, resided about nine years. He then moved to the farm in the
west part of town (Dewitt) where he lived until a few years ago. Since
which time he has made his home with his children and other relatives as
suited his fancy. He was an industrious farmer, a conservative
businessman and by the exercise of thrift accumulated a comfortable
competency. But unfortunately became involved in circumstances which
reduced him in his old age to penury. He was an honest, upright man, a
good citizen, always loyal to his friends and having the unbounded
confidence of all who knew him, hence he was a man of wide influence.
The names of his children are as follows, Jefferson and Henry whose
address just now is not known by the relatives here, Mrs. Margaret
Schofield and Mrs. Mary Logan of this place. Albert Darrah, Emporio,
Kansas, Sanford Darrah of California and Mrs. Agnes Hoag of Kansas City.
The relatives have the synpathy of the entire community.
