We are pained to announce the death of C. W. Helm, a very bright and
promising young man, brother of J. D. Helm, a well known citizen of
this county. Deceased came here last month to be treated for mountain
fever, and though the case was an exceedingly obstinate one, it finally
yielded to treatment and he was apparently improving. On Saturday
evening he was taken worse again, and hemorrhage of the bowels ensuing
he sank rapidly until four o'clock on Sunday morning, when he breathed
his last.

He was attended during his last days by his two brothers, J. D. and H.
H. Helm, who were devotedly attached to him, and who have the warmest
sympathy of the community in the loss they have sustained.

The funeral took place this afternoon from the Marina Street church,
and was attended by a large and sympathetic concourse of citizens.
Rev. J. G. Eberhart preached a very eloquent and touching sermon on the
occasion.
