Introduction

In the 1930 census, Helen was living with her parents in Watsonville and attending school. The census says her mother was born in CA and her father was born in Iowa. Also in the household were brothers Richard and Peter and maid, Florence Yorman. Her father was an MD in private practice. According to the 1940 census, Helen M Watters was 26 and single, living with her parents Henry Gustav Watters (1884-1964), 55, and Bertha C (Brassel) Watters (1885-1970), 54. Also in the household were Peter KempWatters (1918 - 1978) , her brother, and Raymond C Camcam, 30, servant. Helen was working as a stenographer and had graduated college. Peter was a "Coca Cola dispenser" and father Henry was still an MD in private practice. According to her September 7 1999 obituary in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Santa Cruz CA, Helen was a native of Watsonville CA. It goes on to say that "She was a member of the pioneer Watters family and graduated in 1936 from Stanford University where she played on the women's basketball team. She and her husband operated a Mobil Gas Station in Watsonville in the 1950s. In the 1950 federal census, Helen said she was the bookkeeper for the station and husband Helmer said he was the station operator. She later worked in the office at Smuckers in Watsonville for many years. Her grandfather, Dr. PK Watters, and her father, Dr. HG Watters, both founded Watsonville Community Hospital. Helen married Helmer Yngve Bergman (1907-1975) in November 1947 in Reno NV. Helmer preceded her in death. They had no children: she was survived by 3 nieces and a nephew.

Helen Watters Bergman (1913 - 1999) was a member of a Central California pioneer family. Her grandfather and father were both physicians who founded Watsonville Community Hospital. She was born in Watsonville, lived in Watsonville, and died in Watsonville. And if you know Watsonville, it's more of a village than a town - even today.

The one foray for Helen away from Watsonville was to Stanford University. Going back to - you guessed it, Watsonville - after college, she married a few years later and she and husband Helmer owned a Mobil gas station where they worked together

We remember this West Coast small town girl.

Sad - she was beautiful - but in a way, I'm glad she did not live to see what is happening to California now, all the fires and other troubles. She was "Greatest Generation" and would have been deeply saddened.
