General Notes: Husband - Jacob Helm

---

He was born August 13, 1815. [HAC 1914, 351]

He owned one hundred acres of land near Cowansville, and followed farming, dying at his homestead in his eightieth year.

He was reared at Cowansville, Pennsylvania, and when he began life for himself purchased from his father a tract of 120 acres in Washington township on which there was a small clearing and log cabin. He later built a one and one-half story frame house, and there reared his family, passing the remainder of his life at that place, which he finished clearing and greatly improved.
He and his wife were Lutherans, and charter members of the church in their neighborhood, St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran. Mr. Helm was a Republican in politics.
