General Notes: Husband - William Helm

---

He changed the name from its original form "Hellam" to Helm.
He was born in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and after his marriage removed to Forest County, settling upon a tract of one thousand acres which his father had purchased from the Holland Land Company, living for a time at Babylon Hill and moving thence to Tidioute, Warren County. He sold books for a time, but he was a pioneer oil producer in Warren County, where he owned many acres of valuable land. Upon his retirement he went to Colorado Springs, Colorado, on account of the health of his daughter Florence, and he died there. Originally a Lutheran in religion, he was for some years associated with the Methodist Church, but returned to the old denomination before his death. Politically he was a Republican.
