Breckinridge County News; 2/1908
Once again our little town is saddened by another visit of the Angel of Death who
came into the home of L. B. Helm and has borne away on its wings up the pearly
portals the spirit of his wife, Esther.  She had been a sufferer for some time, but
was patient and often spoke of her willingness to die.  It was one of the saddest
deaths owing to circumstances, that we have ever witnessed.  She leaves a husband, a
brother, Dr. Larne Helm, of Lexington, and a daughter, Mrs. R. W. Vaughan, of
Lexington, and a host of friends who will miss her.  The husband and her brother and
sister have our sympathy.  On account of sickness in her home Mrs. Washington could
not be at the bedside of her sister where she has come many times during her
illness.  As the sun was sinking in the West Saturday evening with her husband and a
niece and nephew, Mr and Mrs. Harry Major, of Louisville, and some friends around
her bedside her spirit was wafted over the tide to be with her loved ones.  Mrs.
Helm was the daughter of Squire Learne Helm, who was pastor of the Baptist church
here for a number of years before his death.  Had she have lived until the
eighteenth of May she would have been sixty years old.  By her request Rev. F. R.
Roberts, pastor of the M. E. church, conducted her funeral service at the home,
after which her remains were taken to Irvington and interred in the Washington
cemetery.
