Wm. K. Helvie A Well Known War Veteran Passes Away
William K. Helvie, 76, a pioneer of Delaware County, died at his home in Yorktown, Friday, of a lingering disease. The funeral will be held at the Yorktown M. E. church Monday morning at 10 o'clock, the Rev. L. E. Jones officiating. Interment will be made at Beech Grove Cemetery.
