Helt of Helt Township, died at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning of last week. He had been an invalid for several years, and death was really a relief instead of a terror to him. His father, Michael Helt, with several of his neighbors, moved from Columbus, OH, to Vincennes, this state, in 1815. They started in a flatboat, floating down the Sciota River to the Ohio, and from there to the mouth of the Wabash, then poled it up to the mouth of the Wabash River to Vincennes, where the little colony located and remained until the year 1818, when they all pulled up stakes and moved to this county, settling on Helt's Prairie. Catherine Helt, the second child of he family , who never married and still survives, was the second child born in the county. She was born March 23, 1819. It was always claimed that William Skidmore, now deceased, was the first white child born in the county. He was born February 19, 1819. Charles B. Helt, the subject of this notice, was born in this county, where he has always resided, on February 21, 1821. He was an honorable and respectable citizen, and had the esteem and good will of everyone. He grew from manhood in the wild and wooly west of that day, for the principal inhabitants of this county during his boyhood days were the red men, who were then quite numerous in this locality. All kinds of wild beasts of the forest were plenty, and the natives lived mainly on wild game and corn pones. The nearest grist mill in those early days was 60 miles away, and Terre Haute was the nearest trading post, which then consisted of not more than a half dozen rudely constructed buildings. He was strictly temperate in all his habits, and by economy and industry, he succeeded in accumulating a fortune of several thousand dollars for his wife and children. His funeral occurred on Wednesday last, the day following his death, the discourse being preached by Rev. J.E. Wright of Dana, a minister of the M.E. Church, after which his remains were interred in the Helt's Prairie Cemetery. Will Abstract, Vermillion County, IN Book 3, Pages 309-311 Charles B. Helt, Vermillion County, IN Written May 24, 1888 1.
