Helen Martin was born about 1890 in California, at this time I am not 100% of maiden name or parents. She was married to Edward "Yorkey" Martin, he was born 11 Nov 1892.
This is their story:
10 Sep 1929
San Francisco, California
I did not find any census records, marriage records or children for the couple. She might have been Helen I Kerkan but I am not 100% sure but then I am not even 10% sure.
It's sad they lived a life surround by drugs and had chose this kind of life to live. I wonder as she got older if she hide her scars.
This is their story:
Inmate #38286 San Quentin
Rec: 20 Aug 1923
Crime: Vio. Harrison Drug Act

Below is a link to a newspaper clipping, where she tried to save her husband from going to prison by taking the blame. They were both guilty.
She was sentenced again:

Rec: 2 Feb 1936
