Mazie Irene (Helman) Branson was the daughter of Walter W (1864 - 1900) and Luella (Crane) (1868 - 1954) Helman of Lorain County, Ohio. After Walter Helman died of Typhoid Fever in 1900, she became the step-daughter of Charles Sheldon of Wellington. His family was well known for the production of cheese in the area.

In about 1917, she married Carl Andrew Branson, who was the son of Edward Branson (1857 - ? ) and Caroline Louise Roedel (1858 - 1944). While he completed a WWI Draft Registration card in Cuyahoga County, Ohio in 1918, they were residing in Midland, Michigan, by 1920.

We are fortunate to have a photograph of Mazie with a group of 9 other Sheldon, Rowland, and Riley cousins and aunts that was taken in about 1926 in Wellington, Lorain County, Ohio. A family member identified Mazie (center) and her mother Luella (Crane) Helman Sheldon (standing second from left). All others were descendants of Benjamin F. (1791 - 1870) and Lovisa (Rice) (1796 - 1870) Sheldon of LaGrange, Lorain County, Ohio. Benjamin was a veteran of the War of 1812. While Charles Sheldon did not have any other children of record, Mazie was an important step-daughter.

Blessings and thanks to the Branson family.
