Surnames: Helms Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gh.2ADI/5497.1 Message Board Post: The Warren Republican, Thursday, August 1, 1901 Obituary. Homer E. Helms, son of Wm. H. and E.A. Helms, was born Sept. 10, 1882. He was never a very stout, rugged boy, yet was full of ambition, and longed for an education. He worked hard what time he was able to pursue his studies, and proved himself a student whose example is worthy of emulation. He was a lover of books, music and flowers, took great interest in research, and had his life been spared and health good, he would have made his mark in the world. He was affable and kind, well beloved by those who knew him best. Notwithstanding his many talents, the Lord has seen fit to take him, and he departed this life July 17, 1901, aged 18 yrs., 10 mos. and 18 days. He leaves a father, mother and three brothers, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.
