I am researching the HELM family, specifically William Oscar HELM, born in 1872 in Edgerton, KS. Father's name, possibly "J.D"; William possibly had a brother named Sylvester. His family presumably lived in the area until he married an Eva Mary LARKINS of Independence, MO. One of their daughters: Pearl Marie HELM married Marion GOODFELLOW who also settled in the area. Any help would be appreciated...reaching a roadblock here.
