Welcome to Seminole County, Oklahoma
Hi my name is Linda and I am the county host for Seminole
County, Oklahoma. I have many of my own family members that have
lived in this area and lived most of their lives in the county. I
would like to dedicate this page to my great grandparents, Lina Pope Helm
and Julia (Standley) Helm. They came to the Seminole County area
prior to statehood. Their farm lay on the boundaries of Semiole
County and Pottawatomie County, so therefore their records are found in
both counties.I would welcome your feedback and comments, and of
course, your data contributions. If you have transcribed data that you
would like to have posted on this website, please email them to me.

Julia (Standley) Helm was born on February 16, 1856 in
Hurricane, Carroll County, Missouri to Bartlett Christopher (Tack)
Standley and Nancy J. Mahaney. She had a brother , George who
died in infantcy. Her mother died in 1864, and her father
remarried to Catherine (Forrest) Addis. They had two
children together, Hattie and Joseph. Julia married Lina Pope
Helm in Carroll County, Missouri on March 22, 1876 in
Bosworth. They began rearing their family in Carroll
County. Their children, Edna Blanche Helm, Violet Julia
Helm, Lina Douglas Helm, Charles Oscar Helm, Myrtle Helm, and
Forest Clyde Helm were born there, their last two children Stanley
Helm and Lottie B. Helm were born in or around the Earlsboro or
Semiole area. Julia died March 22, 1939 at Wewoka, Seminole
County, Oklahoma and is buried with her husband in the Maple Grove
Cemetery. I have heard many stories from my Aunt Bessie
Littleton Hardy that she heard while growing up about her
grandparents trip from Missouri to the Indian Territory in covered
wagons. It was a long hard trip especially with six children
in tow. Julia and her husband believed in Education and
religion and stressed this importance to their children. They
also had very strong family
ties. |
