Helvey died June 19 at Excelsior Spring, Mo., after a lingering illness, of Brights disease-Born in Whitley Co., in 1856 where he resided until about 19 years of age when he went to Iowa where he resided a number of years. He then went to Kansas City, Mo., where he followed railroading for several years, and when in 1887 he was married. Having lost an arm while railroading, he engaged in other business until about 4 years since when he purchased the Bud Brown farm. After farming 2 years he sold his farm and engaged in the hardware business in Potter in which he was very successful. He had the happy faculty of making and retaining friends. Upright, honest in all his dealing. He was indeed one of natures noblemen. Mr. Helvey leaves a widow and one son, two brothers in Indiana and one sister who has been making her home with him for several months. He was a member of and carried insurance in the following orders-Modern Woodmen and Workmen. Jack, as he was familiarly called, was a firm, sincere man, whose friendship never wavered, and who always did more than he promised, frank and generous with a brave kind nature and a tongue which knew neither guile nor double dealing. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church which was crowded with sorrowing friends. When the sad service was over and relatives and friends had taken a last look at the noble man who seemed but sleeping, we followed the remains of our friend to the quiet rural cemetery at Fairview where a second funeral service conducted by the Woodmen was held. The floral tributes which had accompanied his remains were laid upon his last resting place and we turned away with a heavy heart as the doleful echos of earth falling into his grave smote again and again upon our ears,-A friend.
