38. If you do the math there's no way that the Arizona and Arkansas Helen Purcell are the same person

Mar 2016

Arkansas Helen Purcell met Arkansas Joe Purcell in 1948. She had reportedly just graduated from college and was about to begin a career as a teacher. So, in 1948, that puts her around 22 years old.

So, that would make Arkansas Helen Purcell around 90 years old.

The Arizona Helen Purcell is clearly not 90-years old.

I will say...that is a hell of a coincidence that both women are named Helen Purcell and married to a Joe Purcell.

But it's not her!
