Helen’s father

Mr. Arthur H. Keller, Helen’s father was a captain in the Confederate Army. Kate Adams, Helen’s mother was his second wife and many years younger to him. He was a perfect gentleman who was devoted to his family. He was a renowned hunter and shot. He was known for his hospitality. He loved gardening and the watermelons and strawberries raised by him were in great demand. Often he would narrate stories to Helen which she liked considerably. The news of his sudden death after a short illness in i896 left her dazed and forlorn.

 Her father was also very much concerned about her. When he heard about an eminent oculist who had been successful in many hopeless cases, he at once decided to take Helen to Chisholm in Baltimore. He examined little Helen and expressed Helen's blindness could not be treated. He advised Helen's father to meet Dr. Graham Bell in Washington. Helen's father immediately took her to Dr. Bell. Dr. Bell referred him to Mr. Anagnos, who promised him to arrange a special teacher for Helen. So Helen's parents left no stone unturned to provide the best of facilities for their disabled daughter.
