Welcome to Seminole County, Oklahoma
Hi my name is Linda and I am the county host for Seminole
County, Oklahoma. I have many of my own family
members that have
lived
in
this area and lived most
of
their lives in the
county. I
would like to
dedicate this page to my great
grandparents, Lina
Pope Helm
and Julia (Standley) Helm. They came
to the
Seminole County area
prior to statehood.
Their
farm lay on the boundaries of Semiole
County and
Pottawatomie
County, so therefore their records are found in
both
counties.I would
welcome your feedback
and
comments, and of
course, your
data
contributions. If you have transcribed data
that you
would like to have posted on this
website, please
email
them to me. I
am dedicating this
site to
my
great grandmother who showed me the
strength and
stamina needed
during
the last
1800's
and early 1900's to survive and raise a
family. She showed her
children a strong love
of
faith and family
which they in turn passed down
to their children and grandchildren.
If you
would like to be on the
updated information lists for this county
then
please send me an email.

the Earlsboro or
Semiole

died March 22, 1939 at
Wewoka, Seminole
County, Oklahoma and is
buried with her
husband
in the Maple Grove

have
heard many stories
from my Aunt Bessie
Littleton Hardy that
she
heard while growing
up about her
grandparents trip from Missouri
to the Indian Territory in covered
wagons. It was a
long hard trip
especially with six children
in tow.
Julia and
her husband believed in Education and
religion
and stressed
this importance to their
children. They
also had very strong
family
ties. |
