Born in Brooklyn, Helene moved to Syracuse as a young woman to work in the offices of the L.C. Smith Typewriter Company. While working there, she met and married Arthur Schroeder, president of A.C. Schroeder Company. Helene and her husband were long-time residents of Skaneateles who enjoyed world travel. Her fondest memory was an exciting ride on a camel during a trip to the Far East. Despite her love of faraway lands, Helene never forgot her roots in Central New York. When she passed away, her will directed the formation of this fund to benefit the area she loved.
