HELM, Harvey Hurst

Tucson Citizen, Tucson, Arizona Territory Friday, December 7, 1906, page 8 A Former Arizonian Met Death In Mexico Bisbee, Ariz., Dec. 7 - Word reached the city this morning in a private letter of the death near the City of Mexico on Thanksgiving day of H. H. Helm, at one time one of the best known and most prominent mining men in Arizona. Mr. Helm went to Mexico about three years ago, and at the time of his death was superintendent of a large mine located near the City of Mexico. Mr. Helm's death was caused by an accident sustained about two weeks before his death. He was at the bottom of one of the mine shafts when a heavy pulley became detached over head and, falling a distance of about thirty feet, struck Mr. Helm on the head. On being brought to the surface the injured man declared that he was not badly hurt, but on examination his skull was found to have been fractured. During the next two weeks his condition was not thought to be serious, and during that time he wrote two letters to his wife and children, who were visiting in Los Angeles, assuring them that he was not badly hurt and would be entirely recovered in a short time. However, instead of getting better Mr. Helm grew worse until on Thanksgiving day he passed away. The body will be taken to Los Angeles for burial. A brother, J. D. Helm, with his wife, was in Mexico at the time of Mr. Helm's death, but it is not known whether they were with him at the end or not. ------------------------------
