LINA P. HELM, of Earlsboro township, is one of the best known men of his community, public spirited, and an active worker in the cause of temperance, education and the church. He was born in Fauquier county, Virginia, March 3, 1854, of Scotch ancestry and a son of Richard and Ellen (Smith) Helm, both of whom were also born in the Old Dominion state. They moved to Carroll county, Missouri, in 1859, near Dewitt, where the mother died in December, 1864, and the father at the age of fifty-three. They were members of the Methodist Episcopal church and in their family were twelve children, six sons and six daughters.
It was in 1893 that Lina Helm joined the tide of emigration to Oklahoma, and choosing Pottawatomie county as the place of his abode he purchased a farm in Section 28 and has since been active in its improvement and cultivation. At the same time he has taken an active interest in the public life of the community, serving with credit and honor as a member of the school board. The cause of education and religion find in him an especially good friend, working faithfully and earnestly in their upbuilding, and in the Methodist church, of which he is a member, he is a trustee and the superintendent of the Sunday-school.
In 1876 Mr. Helm was united in marriage to Julia Stanley, who was born on the 16th of February, 1860, a daughter of Bartlett and Nancy (Mahaney) Standley, who were born in Kentucky. The mother died at the early age of thirty-five years, the mother of but one child, who grew to maturity, Mrs. Helm, and the father has now reached the advanced age of seventy-eight years and is a resident of Missouri. He served in the Confederate army during the civil war, under the command of General Sterling Price, and was wounded in battle. He is both a farmer and a Democrat. Four sons and four daughters have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Helm—Edna Dyer, Violet Gibson, Douglass, Charlie, Myrtle (Vanlandingham), Forest, Stanley and Lottie. Mr. Helm votes with the Democratic party.
