    Notes:

    Name:
    I believe that Alexander Helms and his wife, Rohannah Jane Fowler had died before 1910. Isaac Alexander Helms and his brother, Isaiah Jack Helms, are both living in the Fairmount Children's Home in the 1910 Census Washington, Stark County, Ohio. Emma Jane is living with Harry and Bertha Kauth family in the 1910 Census for Nimishillen, Stark Co., Ohio. I am unable to locate Docia E. Helms or Clarence Helms after the 1900 census.
