Helen Lee who was born on 23 February 1884 in Owen Sound, worked as a stenographer for various businesses in Saskatoon and generally lived with her sister & brother-in-law. However, he was living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia at the time of the 1921 census, rooming with a Laura Carscadden who was also born in Owen Sound; perhaps they were school girls together?
