Teacher leaves millions to education, service groups after death

The four family farm tracts were last sold in 1911, and in 15 minutes they all had new owners and the organizations had donations of $4.7 million.

One area brought in almost $2 million. The least: $850,000, WQAD reported.

Some of the money has already been pledged for an educational wing at Simpson College, the school from which Helble received her bachelors of arts in elementary education and French, according to her obituary.
