Answers
Hey,
Here u goooooo,♥️♥️♥️
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.
Helen's parents were perfect role models of love, care, affection, and responsibilities. They didn't consider Helen as a burden on them. They were rather more worried about her education and well being. They made every effort to find the ways and means to have Helen treated and educated.
Hope this helps uh...
