I hope you can help. I am looking for info on my Grandmother. She was born 1896 in Moline, Il as Helen Erickson. Adopted soon after by Fremont & Mary Likens. Renamed Eva Likens. 1900 lived in Ogle Cty Ill. 1910 Elkhorn Wi. I contacted Elkhorn Area HS and they looked in a book and found her name in a graduating class 1916. I asked if they could find a photo (really need a photo of her as none exist) they said they get back to me and never did. Wrote the admin and never rcvd a reply. Mary Likens died in 1918. Would like an obit if one exists. 1920 Eva is in Elkhorn living in a hotel as a waitress, Fremont (Fred) lives not too far. I've requested a death cert from the State & Walworth Cty but they have no record for Fremont Likens. He simply disappeared. Soon after Eva moved to Illinois and changed her name back to Helen Erickson after reuniting with her birth mother. Married in 1923 Lake Cty Illinois. Died 1932. I suspect much info sits in Walworth County - especially the! high school. Helen/Eva was well educated. She was the Likens only child. If you can help I would be eternally grateful.
