Daughter of the late H.V. and Bessie Raines Wilson, Helen was born in Wayne County, W.Va., on Feb. 28, 1914. Carl and Helen married before her graduation from Huntington High School in 1932. They moved to Milton in 1940, when Carl was employed as a butcher at Roberts' Store. They later co-owned Milton Food Center, the main market for the growing town.
