Mrs. Mary Helms, a resident of Ionia township for many years, died suddenly

health, but fell from a chair, in the kitchen to the floor just before her 
death. The cause of death was given as heart failure. Mrs. Helms was 68 
years of age and is survived by six children, Mrs. Jessie DeVoise, of 
Greenville; Orbie Helms, of Ionia; Mrs. Armon Guernsey, of Perrington; Miss 
Martha Helms and Mrs. Pearl Curtis, of Los Angeles, Cal., and Frank Helms, 
who lived at home with his mother.
