Lexington Intelligencer, January 24, 1903
Charles Helt The subject of this sketch was born in Germany, Dec. 26, 1829, professed to be born again in 1899, and died in hope Jan. 6, 1903, at his home near Concordia, Mo. His remains were taken to New Hope church where the funeral was preached to a large congregation of sorrowing relatives and friends by the Rev. Runge from this text, 1 Tim. 1-15; "this is a faithful saying and worthy of all exception, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners;" after which the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery. He was the second of a family of six children, Christina, Charles, Caroline, Christopher, Henry and Herman, all of which mourn his demise. He was married in early life to Miss Martha E. Hollenbach who survives him. To this union was born twelve children, seven of whom are living, namely, William, Martha, Mrs. John Froeschle, Jennie, Mrs. David Bratton, James, George, Annie, Sarah and Mrs. Samuel Kanoy. For over two years prior to his death he had been an invalid--a sufferer from that dreaded and most always fatal disease, dropsy. Through his long and trying illness his kindly disposition remained unruffled enabling him to meet each fresh onset of his disease with that gentle uncomplaining patience, which was ever one of his most marked characteristics, and when hope's last ray was extinguished, when the inevitable doom of humanity came nearer and nearer to him, when he stood face to face with his 'grim conqueror" death, with the composure of a philosopher, and the calmness and trust of a Christian, he fearlessly and smilingly surrendered to him who gave his life. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes,dust to dust, and the Spirit to God, who gave it. May God's blessing so rest upon the surviving children as to lead them to serve the God of their parent.
He heard a voice we could not hear,
That said he must not stay,
He saw a hand we could not see,
That beckoned him away.
And we can only say; "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blesses be the name of the Lord."
