Surnames: Helms Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DhB.2ACE/970 Message Board Post: I had two family members, Wade H. Helms, who died 7/1921, in Brownwood while living with his son, and his son, Wright F. Helms, who died 11/1943, in Ozark, AL. Both are buried in Brownwood. I am curious as to when and why Wright moved to Brownwood. Was there oil industry activity in the area in the 1910-1930 period?
