LAS VEGAS AGE
4/5/1913

IN MEMORIAM

    Sunday afternoon, March 30, 1913, all that was mortal of Mrs. Asher 
HELM was laid beneath the sode in the Las Vegas cemetery.
    Mrs. HELM died Friday, March 28th, 1913, after an illness of several 
months.  She was born in Marion, Ohio, in 1855 and was 58 years of age 
at the time of her death, and as Olive SMITH was a favorite with all who 
knew her.  She was of bright intellect and cheery and pleasant in 
disposition, passing the years of her early life until her marriage in 
teaching school.
    Olive SMITH and Asher HELM were married February 14, 1884, at 
Leadville, Colo., she being 29 years of age at the time of her marriage 
and thereafter being 29 years a devoted wife.  Two sons were born of the 
union, William L. HELM, and Henry G. HELM, both of whom, grown to 
manhood are living on the ranch south of this city.
    The family came to Las Vegas to reside five years ago. While never 
rugged in health, Mrs. HELM seemed much benefitted by this climate, 
during most of her residence here enjoying better health than in many 
years.
    While residing in this city she was an active worker in the First 
Methodist Church and was an enthusastic helper in the movement to build 
the present church.
    The funeral was held in the church she loved, on the peaceful 
Sabbath afternoon, many friends of the family being present. Rev. E. A. 
PALMER conducted the services in an impressive and beautiful manner.  
The pall bearers were appointed from among the Masonic friends of Mr.
Helm, and many members of the Las Vegas.
