DEATH CLAIMS IOWA PIONEER
Mrs. Lena Helm Was Resident of Hinton Vicinity For Many Years

Following an illness of four weeks, Mrs. Lena Helm, 708 West Fifth street, a
resident of Sioux City for the last 23 years, died Sunday at a Sioux City
hospital. She was 74 years old.

Mrs. Helm went to Sioux City in 1904, from Plymouth county and had made her
home there since then. She had resided on a farm near Hinton 33 years
before moving to the city.

Born in German, May 10, 1853, Mrs. Helm lived there until she was 18 years
old, when she moved to this country and came directly to Iowa, settling at
Fort Dodge. In 1873 she was married to Frederick Helm at Fort Dodge, and
the same year the couple moved to Plymouth county.

Surviving her are four sons, August and John, of Hinton and Otto and Frank,
of Merrill, and four daughters, Mrs. Pete Hendricks, of LeMars; Mrs. L.
McAllister, of Kansas City, Mo.; and Mrs. Clara Anderson and Mrs. Henry
Larson, and 14 grandchildren.

Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
