Biography

Helen (Ford) Steward is a part of US Black heritage.

Helen Jane Ford, daughter of Charles Ford and Helen Brown, married Lowell Cedric Steward on 24 August 1943 in Los Angeles, California.^[1]

She died on 5 December 2008, apparently in New York? ^[2]

Research notes

The US Social Security Death Index may not be her. She lived in California most of her life, it seems very unlikely her last home was in New York.
