Oldest Link in Chain of Five Generations Dies > @outh Porcupine, June 27th. Special "to The Advance. Mr. Gcorge Helmer and children Rame back to South Porcupine on Friâ€" «lay after an absence at Shawville to attend the funeral of his mother, Mrs. William Helmer, aged 92. In reference ‘to the deceased lady The New Liskeard Bpeaker gives the following rather reâ€" markable facts: "One of the old lady‘s daughters is Mrs. Budarick of Cobalt, and through Mrs. Martin Budsrick, Mrs. ‘Helmer was the oldest link in a chain PAGE FIGHT {f five generations. Mrs. Helmer, whose maden name was Elizabeth Smiley, was mother to Mrs. Budarick (for many years a Cobalt resident) and grandâ€" mother to the latter‘s daughter, Myrs. James Campbell. Mrs. J. Campbell in turn is brandmother to the three chilâ€" dren of her daughter Mrs, Leo O‘Shaughnessy (also of Cobalt), the oldest of the trio of O‘Shaughnessy children being between four and five years of age. This is remarkable enough but the Speaker goes on to say "Until a few months ago there was a fifth link on the other side of the family as well, but this was broken by the death of Martin Budarick, father of the Martin Budarick of Cobalt whose home was at Palmer Rapids." Mrs. William Helmer, 92, Mother of George Helmer, South Porcupine, Had Relatives in Many Parts of North.
