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.  Email address is lscraig1951@yahoo.com Julia (Standley) Helm was born on February 16, 1856 in Hurricane, Carroll County, Missouri to Bartlett Christopher (Tack) Standley and Nancy J. Mahaney.  She had a brother , George who died in infantcy.  Her mother died in 1864, and her father remarried to  Catherine (Forrest) Addis.  They had two children together, Hattie and Joseph.  Julia married Lina Pope Helm in Carroll County, Missouri on March 22, 1876 in Bosworth.  They began rearing their family in Carroll County.  Their children, Edna Blanche Helm, Violet Julia Helm,  Lina Douglas Helm, Charles Oscar Helm, Myrtle Helm, and Forest Clyde Helm were born there, their last two children Stanley Helm and Lottie B. Helm were born in or around the Earlsboro or Semiole area.  Julia died March 22, 1939 at Wewoka, Seminole County, Oklahoma and is buried with her husband in the Maple Grove Cemetery.  I 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.
