This is we believe a picture of Richard Pope Helm who was the son of Thomas Helm and Johanna Hathaway Helm. It is in family records that he moved his family from his Warrenton, Fauquier, Virginia farm to Carroll County, Missouri about 1859. We do know that he married Eleanor Smith on September 25, 1843.

Johanna Eleanor Helm was born November 20, 1848 to Richard Pope Helm and Johanna Smith at Warrenton, Fauquier County, Virginia. She moved with her parents to Carroll County, Missouri in about 1859. She married Benjamin Humphries on December 22, 1867. They had the following children, most were born in Carroll County: Elizabeth E. Humphries, Major Pope Humphries, Benjamin G. Humphries, Virginia M. Humphries, Robert Hale Humphries and George L. Humphries. I am not sure when they moved out of Carroll County, but Joanna died in 1888 at Ragsdale, Fannin, Texas. From a letter in the possession of Hugh Arnold it appears that "Ella" suffered greatly for many weeks prior to her death. It states that she died at half past eight but does not have a day or month, only the year on the postmark. |

Elvira Standley was born on December 20, 1830 to Hugh Standley and Delilah Ashby. Some family members believe she was born in Adair County, Kentucky but I have not found anything to prove that she wasn't born in Missouri. She married Green Gentry on August 2, 1846 in Carroll County, Missouri. No children were born of this union. She married Larkin Humphries in August 1869 in Carrollton, Carroll County. The picture to the left is that of them and Ruth Winfrey, Poly Beaty, Gene Ann. I am unsure whose children these are so hopefully someone can identify them and let me know. Elvira died on March 13, 1909 and is buried in the Wharton Cemetery near Bosworth, Carroll, Missouri. |
