Appendix A
You just wanted to sit at Grandma’s feet. You knew that she had the joy of the
Lord. Children, young people, anyone enjoyed her presence. That’s what I prefer to
remember about Grandmother.

1.4 Letter from Katherine Williams, August 3, 1985

Dear Dr. Benton:
I am delighted that you are researching the full and active life of my mother-inlaw, Helen Stanton Williams, as a pioneer woman preacher and teacher… .
She was the daughter of a prosperous farmer who was somewhat of a community leader,
wrestling champion(!), and church elder, so Helen Mae Stanton was raised as a more privileged young lady than many at the time. She had two sisters and two brothers… .
Helen Stanton was a little taller than average, full-figured, a commanding personality, who used to recall her younger days as “that beautiful, golden-haired Helen
Mae.” She had a full and difficult life but never lacked for self-assurance, and this
aura no doubt contributed to her success as a preacher, a vocation rarely allowed a
woman in those days… .
