      She married Lee Carl Overstreet of St. Louis, in 1919. They divorced in 1925.

      From the History of Callaway county, 1984 book:
      Helen attended high school and Synodical College in Fulton. Following a business venture, she and Mary Eliza beth Wilson formed a business partnership for the operation of an insurance agency. The partnership continued until 1975 when the business was sold to Ferd Lightner. Both Overstreet and Wilson continued association with the business which is now known as the OWL Agency.
      Helen is a descendant of early pioneer families of Callaway County, her grandparents having come from Kentucky and Virginia. Her father was a well known businessman in partnership with his brother James Buchanan Gilpin. Her mother was from a highly respected family - James T. and Jennie B. Kemper. At one time the Kempers and Gilpins owned a large acreage in the south part of Callaway County. The last tract, which had been in the family for over 120 years, was developed by her brother Tom for residential occupancy and is now known as Button Wood Trail-located four miles south of Fulton.
