This is we believe a picture of Richard Pope Helm who was the son of Thomas Helm and Johanna Hathaway Helm.  It is in family records that he moved his family from his Warrenton, Fauquier, Virginia farm to Carroll County, Missouri about 1859.  We do know that he married Eleanor Smith on September 25, 1843.  They had the following children:  James Thomas Helm, Frances Elizabeth Helm, Johanna Eleanor Helm, Lucinda Jane Helm, Richard Hathaway Helm, Lina P Helm, Harriet Roberta Helm, George William Helm, Henry Clay Helm and Mary Emma Helm.  His wife Eleanor died in 1864.  The then married Roberta Collett on December 23, 1866, they had one son, John Helm.  Richard Pope Helm died October 23, 1873 at Bosworth, Carroll County, Missouri.
Johanna Eleanor Helm was born November 20, 1848 to Richard Pope Helm and Johanna Smith at Warrenton, Fauquier County, Virginia.  She moved with her parents to Carroll County, Missouri in about 1859.  She married Benjamin Humphries on December 22, 1867.  They had the following children, most were born in Carroll County: Elizabeth E. Humphries, Major Pope Humphries, Benjamin G. Humphries, Virginia M. Humphries, Robert Hale Humphries and George L. Humphries.  I am not sure when they moved out of Carroll County, but Joanna died in 1888 at Ragsdale, Fannin, Texas.  From a letter in the possession of Hugh Arnold it appears that "Ella" suffered greatly for many weeks prior to her death.  It states that she died at half past eight but does not have a day or month, only the year on the postmark.
Richard Hathaway Helm was born  March 14, 1852 at Fredricksburg, Virginia to Richard Pope Helm and Johanna Smith.  In 1859 he moved with his parents and siblings to De Witt, Carroll County, Missouri.  He married Stella Lee Cook on July 31, 1900 at Bosworth, Carroll County, Missouri.  They had on son, Richard Lee Helm that was born  November 25, 1901.  They are buried at Wharton Cemetery near Bosworth. 
Lina P. Helm was born March 3, 1854 at Warrenton, Fauquier County, Virginia to Richard Pope Helma and Johanna Smith.  At a very young age he moved with his family to Carroll County, Missouri settling in De Witt, Carroll, Missouri around 1859.  He married Julia Stand,ley, daughter of Bartlett Standley and Nancy Mahaney, on March 22, 1876 at Bosworth, Carroll County, Missouri.  They began their family in Carroll County with the births of six children:  Edna Blanche Helm (my grandmother),  Violet Julia Helm, Lina Douglass Helm, Charlie Oscar Helm, Myrtle Helm and Forrest C Helm, their other two children: Stanley Helm and Lottie B. Helm were born at Earlsboro, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma.  Lina died at Norman, Cleveland, Oklahoma on November 15, 1933 and was buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery in Seminole, Seminole, Oklahoma.
Harriet Roberta Helm was born May 8, 1855 at Warrenton, Fauquier County, Virginia to Richard Pope Helm and Johanna Smith  She moved with her parents at about the age of 4 to De Witt, Carroll County, Missouri.  She married James Henry Humphries on March 1, 1874 in Carroll County.  They had several children:  Alma Humphries, Lucy H. Humphries, Ada W. Humphries, Ida Ellen, Humphries, Mary Buelah Humphries, James Marion Humphries, Lee Allen Humphries, Lewis Lenza Humphries, Richard G. Humphries and Virginia May Humphries.  Hariet died on November 23, 1924 at the age of 69 and was buried on November 25, 1924 at Wharton Cemetery near Bosworth, Carroll County, Missouri.
Elvira Standley was born on December 20, 1830 to Hugh Standley and Delilah Ashby.  Some family members believe she was born in Adair County, Kentucky but I have not found anything to prove that she wasn't born in Missouri.  She married Green Gentry on August 2, 1846 in Carroll County, Missouri.  No children were born of this union.  She married Larkin Humphries in August 1869 in Carrollton,  Carroll County.  The picture to the left is that of them and  Ruth Winfrey, Poly Beaty, Gene Ann.  I am unsure whose children these are so hopefully someone can identify them and let me know.  Elvira died on March 13, 1909 and is buried in the Wharton Cemetery near Bosworth, Carroll, Missouri.
