Samuel Hocker Helm, Sr., was born on the 9th day of April 1815, near Milledgeville, on the farm now owned by Dr. P.W. Logan. His father's name was George Helm and his mother's Elizabeth Hocker, to whom were born 12 children and of them "Uncle Sam," as the subject of this sketch is familiarly known, is the only one now living. The birth place of his father was in a fort near Milledgeville and of his mother near Turnersville. Nearly 67 years ago "Uncle Sam" joined the Christian church at McCormack and is still one of its worthy members. At the age of 25 he married Miss Burnetta Helm, who was considered a strikingly handsome young lady and who at this time is still his loving helpmeet and an unusually good looking old lady. She has also been a member of McCormack church ever since she was 16 and is an excellent Christian woman. To them were born 8 children, three of whom they tenderly laid away years ago and in the cemetery of the old McCormack church yard. The five living are: Miss Bettie Helm, whom I verily believe has kept in mind the Biblical suggestion that "they who marry do good, but they that marry not, do better;" Mrs. Z_n Tribble, who has two children living, Mrs. Pattie Taylor and Miss Ann Tribble, and one boy, George, dead; George Thomas Helm, who has three children dead and four living, Mrs. Dr. Wadsworth, Joe Hill, Hallie and Pattie; Mrs. O.J. Thurmond, who has three children, Miss Effie, George and Will_; and Sam Helm, Jr., who has been married several years but has no children. Thus it will be observed that in all there have been 13 grand-children, nine of whom are living, and all considered unusually bright. "Uncle Sam" has always been an exceedingly active man and has at times owned farms all the way from Milledgeville to Turnersville, and said the other day "I can yet make any young man feel mighty tired when night comes who will do as much of most any kind of work in a day as I can." For the last 26 years he has lived on his farm located right at the noted "Peyton's Well." On Tuesday of last week children, grand-children and neighbors gathered at his hospitable home to enjoy a Christmas dinner, and as I knew it would be a big one and a good one, it took just one invitation to secure my assistance in doing justice to that dinner. It is a great pleasure to visit his home, which is as hospitable as any in the land, his latch string always swinging on the outside. He is a dyed-in-the wool democrat, true as steel, an excellent neighbor, a true friend and the world would be much better were there more like "Uncle Sam" than there are. Having lived an upright, Christian life for nearly 82 long years, he enjoys the confidence of all, which I know affords him daily consolation as he descends the western slope of life's hill. His health at present is good enough to admit of the prediction that he will round out 100 years, and here's hoping that he will.

Mr. Samuel Helm, aged 92, died at his home near Peyton's Well at an early hour Sunday morning and was buried in Buffalo Cemetery yesterday afternoon after appropriate remarks at the home by Eld. J.Q. Montgomery. Mr. Helm is survived by his wife, who was a daughter of the late Marcus Helm and the following children: Mesdames A. Tribble, O.J. Thurmond and Miss Betsy Helm and Messrs. G.T. Helm and Samuel H. Helm. Deceased was a devout member of the Christian church, a splendid citizen and a grand old man. He had enjoyed fine health until a week ago, when he suffered a paralytic stroke, which caused his death. Mr. Helm was born within two miles of where he died and has always lived in Lincoln county, where he had esteem of every man, woman and child. He was the soul of honor and a kind-hearted, liberal man. His life was filled with good deeds and his death carries sorrow to all who knew him well. A large crowd followed his remains to their final resting place and many a tear was shed when the body was laid away. Surely a good man has gone to his reward. Let his splendid life be emulated.
