Helen Reimensnyder Martin (1868-1939) was an American author. She was born at Lancaster, Pa., studied at Swarthmore and at Radcliffe colleges; and married Frederic C. Martin in 1889. She became known for her stories of "the Pennsylvania Dutch," the shorter ones contributed to "Leslie's", the "Century", the "Cosmopolitan", the "Ladies' Home Journal", and other magazines.
