Biography

Springwood, Ohio in October, 1907.
Becoming A Nun
In 1925, at the age of 18, Amanda worked as a nun at The Hathaway House (also known as Westin Hills Asylum). Her name was Amanda Krueger, but she changed it to Sister Mary Helena as her name in Christ.
The 100 Maniacs gathering around Amanda as they are about to rape her.
In December, 1941, (just a few days before Christmas), Amanda was accidentally locked in the tower when the guards hurried to go home to their families. Amanda was left alone with the crazy inmates for several days and was brutally beaten and raped. When she was finally found, Amanda was barely alive and pregnant.
Nine months later on September, 1942, Amanda gave birth to a boy named Frederick Charles Krueger (The Bastard Son of 100 Maniacs). Shortly after, Freddy was adopted to
Mr. Underwood, an abusive, and alcoholic adoptive father. Amanda followed Freddy's trial after he was arrested for the murders of several neighborhood children. Freddy was released on a technicality and Amanda was so distraught that she committed suicide shortly after she heard the news. Amanda's body was never found until decades later by a nurse named
Yvonne Miller. The tower where Amanda hung herself was sealed and that wing of the hospital was closed. A headstone was placed in the Springwood Cemetery for "Sister Mary Helena". However, it was merely a memorial marker as no body was ever buried there.
