                <text>Nan Perry Helbig was a Johnsonville native whose life spanned more than a century of local history. Born December 1, 1907, she was the youngest and last surviving child of Llewellyn Francisco “Uncle Zeke” Perry and Elizabeth Hortensia Baxley Perry of Johnsonville. She graduated from Johnsonville High School in 1925 and later studied piano performance at Coker College. After many years living in Bridgeport, Connecticut, she returned to Johnsonville, where she remained active in community and church life, serving for 17 years as organist and choir director at Johnsonville United Methodist Church. Her donated photo collection includes the Perry-Baxley family and related families as well as everyday life of the Johnsonville community.</text>

              <text>Taken circa 1952 as the Helbig family was leaving at the end of a 2 week vacation in Johnsonville.  Nancy Helbig Hirst remembers: "Aunt Grace always sent us off with a whole fried chicken and one of those old-fashioned pound cakes - and she actually weighed some of the ingredients! She was often up cooking by 4am so she could send us off with food.  I have such wonderful memories of those times!</text>
