Helen Sutherland MacFarlane

Island story

Helen Sutherland MacFarlane is named on the Allan and Annie MacFarlane family monument at R9-017, which records her years as 1928–1953. The 1931 Pictou Island census includes a Helen MacFarlane, age two, in the corresponding family household, and later family evidence names a sister Helen. These sources together provide a strong identity and family link. A fuller account of Helen’s education, work and later life remains to be recovered, so her profile is Developing rather than Full.
