I've "rescued" an old photograph of Roy HELM which was taken at the Peher Studio in Bedford, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Roy in his teens or 20's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Roy and his family: Levi Roy HELM was b. 22 Dec 1884 in Ross Township, Taylor Co., IA to parents Byrum HELM (b. 5 May 1840 in Lincoln TS, Morrow Co., OH-d. 7 Feb 1907 Ross TS, IA) and Sarah Ann BILLETER (b. 13 Feb 1842 in Harlan, IA-d. 14 Oct 1921 Ross TS, Bedford Co. IA). Roy was one of 5 children including, Pollie or Polly Adel or Adelle Billeter HELM KEITH (1866-1963); Susanna "Susie" HELM; Samantha J. HELM (1870-1871); and Guy S. HELM (1877-1890). Roy remained his entire life in or near Bedford, IA. He married Eathel BOWERS (1884-1964) on 6 May 1906 and the couple had 8 children including Orin Byrum (1907-1959); Robert Harley (1909-1948); Ralph Bowers (1914-1941); Loran or Loren Levi (1917-1989); Willard Edwin (1919-1951); Glenn Irvin; Hazel Marie; and Leslie Reed (1927-1927). Roy died 21 Jun 1964 in Clarinda, IA and is buried in the Graceland Cemetery in Bedford, IA. Census records provide the following details: 1895 census of Taylor, IA: Byrum HELM, age 54 Sarah A.
