She always said that she wanted to be buried at the Prairie Lawn
Cemetery, Spaulding, Union County, Iowa, next to her parents and her
sister Jeanette, and her wishes will be carried out.
She was listed in the first edition of Who's Who in American Women and
had an exceptionally distinguished career as a medical doctor and a
child psychiatrist. She was a Fellow of American Academy of Child
Psychiatry and of the American Orthopsychiatric Association and a
member of PEO.
Her great-grandfather, Peter Cassel, was the leader of the group that
in 1845 established the first Swedish Farming Settlement West of the
Mississippi. This led the great population of Swedes who came to
settle in Iowa.
Helen Marjorie Jacobson was born on March 17, 1910 in Spaulding, Union
County, Iowa, about four miles north of Creston, Iowa. The previous
year, her parents, Peter Wesley Jacobson and Mary Elizabeth Graham,
had established a homestead near Towner, Colorado. Marjorie was born
exactly nine months after her parents had been married. Her mother,
realizing that she was pregnant, came back to Iowa to give birth and
then immediately returned with the newborn child to Colorado. As a
result, Marjorie never had a birth certificate, but she always said
that she knew that she had been born.
The first few years of her life were difficult, with a shortage of
food, as the homestead failed. Her parents returned with her to
Creston, Iowa. She lived on the family farm, ten miles north of
Creston. A total of six children were born to her parents in the eight
years from 1910 to 1918.
Studious and hard working, she worked her way through college, the
first member of her family to attend higher education, and even sent
money home to support her parents and siblings. She became the owner
of the family home at 510 West Montgomery Street in Creston, in a tax
sale after her parents had been unable to pay the real estate taxes.
She graduated from Cottey Junior College in Nevada, Missouri in 1930
and then went to the State University of Iowa, receiving her BA degree
in 1932. She received her medical degree in 1936 and was one of only
three women in her graduating class at The University of Iowa School
of Medicine.
She married Leroy B. Sloan on June 27, 1937, whom she had met while he
was attending the State University of Iowa School of Law, where he
received an LLB degree. Two children were born of this marriage.
She completed her internship at Norwegian-American Hospital, Chicago,
in 1936-37. She was a resident pediatrics at Children's Memorial
Hospital in Chicago in 1938, and a resident in psychiatry at
Psychopathic Hospital, University of Iowa, 1939-1942. She completed
her residency at Commonwealth Fund Fellow Child Psychiatry Mental
Hygiene Clinic in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942-43.
After completing her medical training, the best paying job she could
get was at Memorial Guidance Clinic, Richmond, Virginia, so she moved
to Virginia, which proved to be a fateful decision. Before long, Dr.
Coghill, director of the clinic, went on leave, and never returned.
She became Acting Director, where she remained until 1952.
She then became director of two state mental health clinics, the
Tidewater Guidance Center in Williamsburg and the Lynchburg Guidance
Center in Lynchburg. She commuted between the two clinics, a distance
of 200 miles. In 1955, she moved to Lynchburg, another fateful
decision, and eventually became full-time director of the Lynchburg
Guidance Center, giving up the commute to Williamsburg.
For the next 23 years, until 1975, she was director of the Lynchburg
Guidance Center, a state sponsored mental health clinic. However, in
1975, under a state program called Chapter 10, her clinic was
transferred from state to local control. There were difficulties in
this transfer and eventually she was forced to leave her position. She
became a resident psychiatrist at Catawba State Hospital near Roanoke
for one year in 1976 and then went to Western State Hospital in
Stanton, Virginia, where she was Chief of the Geriatric Unit until
1984, retiring at age 74.
Shortly after she retired, a group of Lynchburg Lawyers got together
to take control of her financial assets. This group of lawyers
included Killis Howard, Leighton Houck, Richard Miller, Don Pendleton,
Frank Davidson, Michael Gamble, Lawrence Janow, Cecil Taylor and
William Petty. On August 25, 1986, before litigation had started, but
knowing that it was about to commence, Dr. Sloan fled the
jurisdiction. The first of many court cases was filed two days later.
Dr. Sloan spent the next four years on the run, moving from country to
country, while the Lynchburg lawyers kept making inquiries about her
"whereabouts and welfare", as part of a plan to have her kidnapped and
brought back to America. She always managed to keep lock-step ahead of
them and their hired kidnappers, until she was slowed down by a bout
of pneumonia. When she had finally recovered from pneumonia and was
about to be discharged from the hospital, this consortium of lawyers
had her kidnapped out of her hospital room in the Bangkok General
Hospital in Thailand on September 3, 1990. They had her brought back
to America, but did not allow her to return to Virginia, where she
could have defended herself in the court cases they had brought
against her. Instead, she was brought first to Silver Spring, Maryland
and then to Aiken, South Carolina, where she was not allowed to defend
herself in court and was locked up for the next twelve years until her
death.
Meanwhile, they had sold her house at 917 Old Trent's Ferry Road in
Lynchburg and had taken the money.
Dr. Helen Marjorie Sloan is survived by her two sons, Samuel Howard
Sloan and Creighton Wesley Sloan, and by ten grand-children, Peter,
Mary, Shamema, Cassel, Armanda, Michael, Jessica, George, Anusha and
Sandra Sloan. Her ex-husband and her four brothers and one sister all
pre-deceased her.

at me and whispered:

the line he crossed.
Woodshifter
see enough of his crap to know that he claims to "support" Sam Sloan. He
even left his usual "advertisement" for Sloan on this despicable post.
