Pictures of Helen R. Lesses and her family

A picture of my grandmother's whole family in about 1920:

From left to right, back row: Pauline (Dave’s wife), Bert, Lida, Isidor, Helen
From left to right, front row: Jacob, Dave (holding his daughter Matilda), Rebecca (Ryfka), Hyman (Chaim), Eva

My grandmother, Helen R. Lesses, seems to have been a great beauty in her youth, judging from this picture:

Helen Rosenman, probably late teens or early twenties.

My grandparents, Helen Rosenman Lesses and Mark Falcon Lesses, in 1933

Helen R. Lesses with (from left): Richard Lesses, Rebecca Lesses, Mark Lesses (Richard and Mark are my brothers), and Katherine Wilson Lesses (my mother) -- picture taken sometime in the mid-1960s.
