Former Richland Dies

Frank Helmick, a former resident of Richland, passed away at Boise on Friday
night, June 7th, as ta result of complications following an attack of
influenza several months ago. The remains were buried in Boise on Monday, a
number of friends from here and Robinette being present at the funeral.

Mr. Helmick was well known throughout this section. For a number of years he
was engaged in the freighting business and later was employed by E. & W.
Chandler. About nine years ago he purchased an interest in and assumed
management of the S. & F. Forwarding Co. at Robinette and remained there until
a few months ago when he took up his residence in Boise so as to obtain
medical attention.

The deceased is survived by his wife and one son, Paul, age 6; and a
stepdaughter, Glendyn Hawthorne; also a sister, Mrs. Duncan Fraser, a resident
of Baker, to all of whom the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends is
extended.

Franklin W. Helmick was born at New Haven, Ind., on Feb. 24, 1871, and came
West when but a small lad, spending the greater part of his life in Eastern
Baker county. A kind and loving husband and father, a true friend, a
conscientious business man, his passing leaves a vacancy that can never be
filled.
